iTunes see sense

Playlist: Apple introduces 'Complete My Album' on iTunes

This is such a good idea I wonder why they haven't thought of it before. I also wonder if they'll count purchases of separately released single tracks that are identical to the album version.

Quite often I'll buy a single via iTunes before the album comes out, only to end up getting a duplicate version when I eventually buy the album.

Somehow I doubt they will. It would take effort and planning to actually track which individually-released single tracks are identical to album tracks, whereas this system probably does nothing more than check album purchases against a database of previous track purchases.

Shame, I could save, oh... tens of pence!
Jane  I would imagine it will only apply to the track if it came from an album and that's fair enough considering how many singles are a different version to the album one 'specially if they are radio edits. 
Kris J  Dear Becky,

I'm writing an album. Can Apple's "Complete my album" feature help?

Yours,
Confused of Lancashire. 
Becky  Dear Confused,

Yes, but it can only the middling tracks that are sort of a cappella covers of old ELO numbers. It's a bit rough and ready at the moment.
