Link tracks with the same song but with a different title or different language

[Altec]

Hi Djsoft,

Firstly i wanted to wish you a happy 2025 new year, all the best for this upcomming year !

I have a problem with many songs because I'm obliged to rename them to avoid repetitions problem for example:

The Song "This Girl In Love With You" and "This Boy In Love With You" are the same songs, for another example I have some tracks based on the same song but with different titles, example "Ariana Grande - 7 Rings" and "Julie Andrew - My Favourite Things

Could it be possible to add such a function ? to link same songs but with differents titles ?

Best

Altec

I'm not sure how the program will know if those tracks are actually the same. There is linked artists feature, you can try using it, this should handle the second case from your post.

Wouldn't this mean having something like related titles?

Maybe, but this sounds a bit odd, it was never requested before and I'm not sure such a feature will be of use for other RadioBOSS users.

It's not really entirely odd... There are some cases of songs that have different versions by different artists but same title or same song meaning or even cover songs.... So you get to just group them together for scheduling purposes...i think it comes in handy in some cases.

different artists but same title

This can be handled by the "Do not repeat track title" rule.
I think you can rename the song titles, if they are different, so this rule will also work for them.

Levine Thank You.
When the song Title is the same there is no problem, but when it's with different language or an adaptation like for Ariana Grande, we can also mention "Paint Town In Red" by Doja Cat with Dionne Warwick song gimmick.
