We haven't spoken about making changes to accommodate these sorts of
problems. I would anticipate that it is very easy to make a database
change by adding a foreign key which links to the duplicate song.

However, my personal opinion is that it would be a big effort to
implement such a feature, and I don't know if it could be justified.
The hardest thing, and most error prone would be determining if two
songs are the same. How can this be done, I don't think that we can
rely on simply tags since many users have very poor tag management
features (think Track 01.mp3). Using an external library to analyse
the files would also be out of the question.
