I don't understand why 2 (or more) equally named albums should pose a problem. I always thought albums are grouped by AlbumName AND AlbumArtist. If there are equally named albums but with different album artists, then those are different album, otherwise it's a single album. I couldn't think of a case with 2 differ albums with a exact same album name, from a same artist!

In this case the Date field would be populated with the different years of the release...maybe it could conditionally be used and the albums be presented with a "Album + Date" concatenation?

Currently I manually change to Album name if I need to sort this difference (For example, I have DSOTM in 44.1/16 FLAC and 96/24). Additionally one could use a bit depth TAG (in my case automatically populated by JMRC). However, in my case, I am not so interested in this sort, as double entries for albums are very few.
