Title: 2 artists or groups with same name?
Post by: renovicini on August 14, 2013, 04:12:04 PM
Just a general question to throw out here for some feedback

there are several bands out there that share the same name of course from different times.
how are you labeling them as far as folder structure wise and labeling them in the artist tags?

I guess I am not aware of any such groups... Can you provide some examples?

Challenger to start with. It is a band from the UK

Another one I was dealing with a while ago was LFO

There are also two bands called Mr Big - a 70s outfit from the UK who had hits with songs like Romeo on the EMI record label, and an American band who had a 90s hit with To Be With You.

And how many bands called The Jets have charted over the years?

I put the country in the band name. For example:
Scorpions (DE) - Wind of change
Scorpions (UK) - Hello Josephine
