Weblog:   Five things the next iTunes version needs to have

I have several albums which feature a particular song. It's the same song, except for perhaps an extra half-second of silence at the end or what-have-you, but I still have to keep both copies of it around for the sake of completeness for the album.


What I'd like to be able to do is designate a song to be from multiple albums. That way, I only need one copy of, say, "Heart of Glass" by Blondie, but it will be listed as being on the albums I got it from (the original album, a best-of, and some compilations).


I realize it's a little weird to be worried about it all, but I like to be able to see all 12 tracks from an album show up when I click on it. If there's only 11, well, I've had to track down script and disk errors in the past. For the moment, I have enough disk to hold everything, so I'm not that concerned.

    This is one feature I *really* want. I have a lot of songs that occur in several albums and I want to be able to play the entire album. Instead of having separate copies of the song, I'd like to have one copy assigned to multiple albums so I can play each album in its entirety (ex: "hits" and "up" by Peter Gabriel).
