Hi @Maurice_Downes How does this look to you in Qobuz’s own apps?

Hey Joel, looks like Qobuz has it all messed up too. Technically how does one differentiate between artists of the same name. ?

We’re almost certainly getting it wrong because the streaming services are getting it wrong. Believe it or not, all labels supply is a name – “Ian Brown” – not an id. It’s unbelievable. It is not uncommon for streaming service artist ids to contain albums from more than one same-named artist. The most popular artists naturally get sorted out more quickly, e.g. Michael Jackson, Nirvana.

I’ll ping our streaming partners and see if they can figure it out.
