Just an update to a previously reported issue Duplicate album names queued together | Sonos Community.  I have this album on my music library (apologies for some of the titles, but that’s the way it is):

 

File list for album tracks

The album is listed three times in the controller:

 

Selecting any one of the duplicate titles shows only one track:

 

These results are the same on the Windows, Android, and web controllers.  I reindexed before collecting this info. I should add that queueing any one of the duplicate titles only adds one track to the queue.

 

I emailed this info to Sonos support.

If I was tagging this album, I would follow best practice for tagging compilation/soundtrack albums, eg:

Ok, I would follow best practices for tagging compilation and soundtrack albums.
