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!
Examples of virtual duplicates
This lists some examples of 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 list albums that were actually released in different countries (so with different track listings) - therefore these albums are virtual. Also this cannot be a complete list since there may be hundreds of them under Japanese artists.
In a future database version it might be possible to store the different representations together with the original. Until then please leave notes in the AlbumAnnotations.
- Various Artists:
- Released album: Planet Pop 4 (a very stupid example...)
- English, Katakana representation: プラネットポップ４
- English, Cyrillic transliteration: Планет Поп 4
- English, Cyrillic transcription: Пленет Поп 4
- Released album: Planet Pop 4 (a very stupid example...)
- Kate Bush:
- Released album: Aerial (disc 1: A Sea of Honey)
- Duplicated because of Unicode tagging issues with the Pi sign: Aerial (disc 1: A Sea of Honey)
- Released album: Aerial (disc 1: A Sea of Honey)
Author: Shepard (add yourself here if you worked on the list)
