After a long time, Apple has decided to make life more pleasant for users of the Apple Music streaming service. Since yesterday, a new element in the user interface is available, which will allow you to search for related albums of individual artists.

You certainly know it in one of your favorite performers. You download their entire collection to your library, only to find that it contains several duplicate albums. Album A is classic, album B is uncensored (with explicit expressions), album C is a limited edition for a specific occasion or market... and so you practically have the same album three times in your library, and except for the changed singles, you have all the other songs three times . That is over now.

From now on, the "basic" versions of individual albums should be available in the Apple Music library, with other various reissues, remasters or extended versions available from the offer of that basic album. In this way, many duplicate recordings, which caused chaos in the musicians' offer, will disappear from the list of individual artists' albums. Newly, studio albums should primarily appear for all performers, while all others will be "hidden" in this way.

I wrote should on purpose, because it seems that this new function is suffering from a relatively slow start. At the time of writing, there were still many duplicate albums by artists whose library suffers from such a problem (for example, Oasis or Metallica). Completing the reorganization of the libraries of all interpreters will probably take some time.
