Feature Request: Use mbz recording ids to track playcounts
Hey, I don't know if this is possible. I'd love of lms could track and combine playcounts based on mbz recording ids.
For example, here is a song "A Decade Under the Influence" from the album it comes from, "Where You Want to Be":
Here is the same song from their greatest hits album:
Through choosing to play, shuffles, etc, I could play this song 20 times. But, if the first file plays 9 times, and the greatest hits one plays 11 times, it stays much lower in the ranking of most popular songs. And this doesn't even include if the song also appears on any compilations or soundtracks, to further spread out how many times the song might be listened to.
However, you'll see in the screenshots that both songs have the same mbz recording id because they are the same version of the song on two separate releases. If the recording id was used to track playcounts, instead of the file itself, then it could accurately list 20 as the amount of times the song has been played.
And just for comparison, here are the single and demo version to show they have separate recording ids:
Again, I don't know how possible this actually is, but I think it would be a great addition, and help make certain playlist mixes more beneficial.
Thanks.
