Music Assistant identifies more streamed album tracks when services use different titles from the MusicBrainz catalogue. If an entire album’s track order and timings line up, each track can receive the matching recording identity without a title match.
Local files retain the title check, as do albums whose track count, numbering or durations do not line up. In the contributor’s test of twelve albums containing 637 tracks, identified tracks increased from 310 to 603; one St Matthew Passion recording went from none to all seventy tracks.
