Albums containing tracks with different bit rates / word lengths
For some reason, lately I've found that several of my albums have content with differing bit rates and/or word lengths.
For example, "AfroCubism" has all but one song at 44.1kHz/16bit; the one song is 44.1kHz/24bit.
In gogglesmm this shows up as two albums.
Similarly "The Acid House" shows up as two albums, one with the 48kHz content, the other with the 44.1kHz content.
I really like the little green tag that says e.g. 24/96, although I think there should be one that says 24bit for 44.1kHz/24bit.
But really, I think "an album is an album" and it should show up as one thing in the album cover view. If the content is of different bit rates and/or word lengths, maybe the green tag could show the predominant content and then have a "+" (or similar) next to it to show that there is other stuff there.
I guess this isn't a serious bug...
There is a "Group albums by audio format" in the import/sync dialog to turn off this behaviour. Perhaps it can be more refined and be more smart by checking if files came from the same folder for example.
Some background on this: I've a couple of albums in multiple formats (CD quality stereo, high def stereo and multi-channel audio). These have all the exact same tags and I didn't want to update album name to have them sorted in different albums. So that's what I based the Group By Audio Format on. As I said, perhaps it can be more refined.
Huh! Cool.
What I tried:
- checked "update existing tracks" on sync tab of Synchronize Folder;
- unchecked "Group albums by audio format" on track tab of Synchronize Folder;
- clicked Sync
Sure enough, The Acid House and AfroCubism are now one album each. However my covers have vanished from the Albums pane, though they appear when I play an album (but not in the Albums pane).

Ah!
I deleted ~/.cache/gogglesmm, restarted, sync'ed and now alles ist güt.

Ok, perhaps there may be some bug with the cover cache when re-syncing. :)
Without grouping by audio format, you do miss out on the green tag in the album list. I'm probably going to change it, so we can still can get that as well without audio format grouping.
The cover not being visible may be related to a recently introduced bug related to FOX 1.7.57.
Thanks for the nice review btw.
Sander and all,

Well deserved! And the more I use it the more I like it.
