Merging Music Artists

[losth1ghway]

Hey there,

I'm wondering if there's a possibility to merge the albums of differently tagged music artists.
This would be useful in a few different situations:

Artist work is split into different groups due to collaborations:

• The Advent
  
• The Advent, Industrialyzer
  

Artist work is split into different groups by language romanization:

• Utada Hikaru [宇多田ヒカル]
  
• Utada Hikaru
  
• 宇多田ヒカル
  

I understand that this could be fixed by editing the tags of the music files themselves, however this presents a problem in my particular setup -- My collection is hardlinked to my torrent library, thus editing the files themselves will break parity with the torrent files.

I'd love to know how others deal with this problem. It's quite challenging sometimes to remember which exact artist naming scheme a particular album is under.

Thanks!
