Dealing with duplicate files in Noise?

Registered by KVG

I think Noise should deal with multiple instances of the same song. Maybe it should ask if the users want to get music folder organised or only merging all the entries into one "object" in Noise's database. In this case, Noise should play the song with the greatest bitrate (if you have 320 kbps mp3 and 240 kbps mp3 copies of the file - Noise should play the first file, if you have both flac and mp3 versionst - flac is preferable, etc.).

Whiteboard

Implementing this independently in every app is way too complex, but in can be done in https://blueprints.launchpad.net/elementaryos/+spec/librarykit

This item is not Noise-specific, so I'm marking the blueprint not a priority for Noise.
