That is one approach. I used to utilize it for `_FILENAME`s [within one and the same folder], until it became hard to read when I had files like `Song Title '`, `Song Title ''`... `Song Title '''''''`. So then I changed to something like `Song Title '1`, `Song Title '2`, `Song Title '3` etc.; but after a while my naming system evolved into a more complicated one, which in turn almost completely removed such repetitions But the problem came back for the `ALBUM` tag field when I started to work on it [unifying the nomenclature in it] . When I have different versions of the same album I simply [without going into details] describe them additionally as e.g. `2000 Remastered Edition`, `Vinyl`, `Sony Music Classic Edition`. On top of that I have albums IDs kept in a separate tag field. And in a perfect world I could have the ID's added to the `ALBUM` tag field, but that would require from me to have such ID for every single file ` ` ` ` And maybe these two topis will give you a broader view before you start revamping your files > [@A storage concept for albums with multiple names / functions](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/a-storage-concept-for-albums-with-multiple-names-functions/40809): > > The question is: how to store different "names" of the same album in one file? Let's say there is this "Album A". So you put "Album A" in the ALBUM tag field right? So far, so good But what if this "Album A" serves as the original score to "Movie B" from track 1 to 10 and as an original score to "Movie C" from track 11 to 20?
