Identify and connect same songs

[rstemmer]

Identify and connect same songs. Use-Case: There exists the same song in the music collection. Once in a Single Release, once in an Album. There may be multiple connections for example when there exists multiple cover songs.

I remember a library that does fingerprinting songs to identify similar/same songs. I could use this. The connection can be done by a new table in the music.db file with the following columns:

• Song ID A
• Song ID B
• Type ∈ {"Same", "Cover Song"}

Questions to clear before:

• [ ] What if the user accidentally connects two songs as "Same"? - The old Flags/Tags states need to be backed up.
• [ ] Should there be a visualization of this connection (Like a link? How to visualize multiple Connections?)
• [ ] For cover songs, how to highlight the original song?
• [ ] For multiple cover songs, should they be directly connected, or through their original song?

Tasks to do:

• [ ] Find the library to compare songs
• [ ] Add table into database
• [ ] Add an entry in the context menu of songs to allow adding connections
• [ ] Synchronize Flags, Tags and Likes/Dislikes for connections of type "Same"
