link different track versions

Would it be possible to auto-link different (streamable) versions of a track?
I particularly mean remixes and live versions, not covers by other artists.

I would imagine that such versions could be identified automatically, because they mostly have the same title + something in brackets:

Sarah Vaughan - Lover Man
Sarah Vaughan - Lover Man (Jazzelicious Remix)
Sarah Vaughan - Lover Man (Live (1963/Copenhagen))

manual linking (flagging) would be another option of course, but i guess that would mean a lot of work for you guys.

this service would be greatly appreciated because i noticed that especially live versions hardly get any scrobbles. so please do your magic!

In your S.Vaughan example, numbers 1 & 2 are correct. Three is a mistagged song according to the proper rules.

Your QOTSA example would also be wrong.

Those are likely mistakes generated by shit file-naming/uploading practices by the labels.

i really don't care if they're tagged right. i simply want other streamable versions to be collected on the track page of the original song.

so that didn't help.

Well, i'm trying to get you to understand the rationale behind the naming. How would the system be able to tell that "song A" and "song A (remix)" are in any way related?

Anyway, hope you get your answer.

i don't know how to do this. that's why i'm asking. same artist + same title followed by a "(" just doesn't seem to be impossible to identify. but i don't know about those things...

how about manual linking/flagging?

That would work. But my guess is that Last would prefer and algorithm of sorts rather than letting everybody mess with the system.

Before the fix for the problem you mention, i'd go back to what i mentioned before. For example, right now Last (because of record label morons, mostly) can't separate between:

Brown Sugar
Brown Sugar (1994 Remaster)
Brown Sugar (Sticky Fingers Deluxe Edition)

...to tell they are exactly the same track (it's a made up example but close enough to reality). So, to tell apart Brown Sugar from it's Disco Remix Version, it would first have to know that the three above are the same original standard studio version and merge them.

Since Spotify came online here in the US, the stats are getting crapped on because their system is full of albums from the 70s that now scrobble as "Artist - Title (remastered studio version)" which is shit, no such song exists.
