Do you mean something like the band Weezer where they have multiple albums all titled Weezer? I have sometimes wondered what would happen in that case but never bothered to look into it properly. How are you storing the files? Do you have the albums split into different folders, or all tracks dumped into a single folder?
Yep. It's weezer. They were being stored in one folder, moving them to separate folders fixed it. (should I close the issue? it's still a problem you store all my music in one folder, but that's unlikely?)
Elisa uses "same artist and album" to group songs into albums. It doesn't use musicbrainz IDs. I guess it could fall back to that in cases where an album would otherwise be inappropriately grouped.
