Displaying the same album across multiple box sets

RE: Displaying the same album across multiple box sets
As much as I'd like it to look nice in the UI I wouldn't want that to be at the expense of the tags themselves.

Having given up on the idea that I could get this displayed the way I want I went down the route of displaying the album twice by changing the Album via MinimServer using a tagFormat of Album.displayFormat={$album^$boxtitle^ (^)} but this displays as a single album with concatenated Box set names [A Hard Day's Night (The Beatles, The Beatles in Mono) ], at which point the tracks are intermixed when you drill through.

Finally I tried a tagValue of Album.merge={boxtitle}, but this gives me errors for all the tracks in the album

Scanning directory The Beatles In Mono
Warning: conflicting ALBUM tag value The Beatles In Mono ignored for file Beatles, The/The Beatles In Mono/029 - A Hard Day's Night.flac
Warning: conflicting ALBUM tag value The Beatles In Mono ignored for file Beatles, The/The Beatles In Mono/030 - I Should Have Known Better.flac
Warning: conflicting ALBUM tag value The Beatles In Mono ignored for file Beatles, The/The Beatles In Mono/031 - If I Fell.flac
...
...


Looks like I may need a little more reading around this as I was hoping that I'd simply be able to change the value of the album tag using the pre-processing and MinimServer would treat it as though it WAS the album tag.
