For different but equally named albums (which is clearly an exceptional case) the workaround would be using the already existent feature 'match filter'. This would meet the expectation from a tag-based media server but it would also lead to a less efficent scanning.

One example: is it so uncommon? There is the example of "Ballads".
I checked for "Ballads" in my collection and MinimServer is already doing a good job: I have "Ballads" from John Coltrane, from Miles Davids and from Dexter Gordon.

Now, I thought the reason for MinimServer to present them correctly separated is because it checks that the Artists are different....But apparently is because the files are in different folders (in my case, stored according to the "Artist > Album" rule in JMRC).

I believe it would be feasible to apply a rule: IF several albums with same name AND Artist is different > Split.
