Revision as of 20:14, 6 December 2005

A virtual duplicate album is an album that was never released with this form of the tracklisting but is another representation of a released album in the database. As this it is a legal DuplicateAlbum and is not to be merged!

List of virtual duplicates

This list tries to collect all albums that were duplicated to have a representation of them in other scripts or to have a version without Unicode characters that could cause tagging issues. It does NOT collect albums that were actually released in different scripts (so with different track listings) - therefore these albums are virtual.

In a future database version it might be possible to store the different representations together with the original.

To add an entry please list it at the bottom in the form

 * [link_to_artist Artist name]:
  * Released album: [link_to_album Name of actual released album]
   * <lang>, <script> representation: [link_to_album Name of virtual duplicated album]

or just list the artist name if there are too much virtual duplicates under it and if their status is adequate documented in AlbumAnnotations.
