"Track X is the Same as Track Y"

I'd like the ability to correct tags or album lists and to somehow say: "This is the same version of that song".

For example:
Björk has recorded a Song called "Hyperballad".

Somehow, someone tagged his MP3 "Hyper-ballad", so there are 2 tracks in her tracklist, but it's the same song.

Another Example:
Close to the Edge has 3 tracks.
1. Close to the Edge
2. And You and I
3. Siberian Khatru

Yes, the first two songs do have subchapters called (I. The Solid Time of Change, II. Total Mass Retain, III. I Get Up…), but very obviously, only very very few people tagged their MP3 with the subchapter titles.

More likely this version is the album track as tagged by most listeners:
http://www.last.fm/music/Yes/_/Close+to+the+Edge
so these two songs are the same.

Maybe it can be automated if - let's say:10% of the group's listeners say : Song X = Song Y to prevent someone intentionally wrong-tagging tracks.

You know that your client (since version 1.4.0) fingerprints all your tracks and sends the data to last.fm
That data is used to build a database that at a later time might be used to scrobble tracks based on that info.

The blog has at least for posts about the idea and gathered data.

Remember to say "thank you" for the things you haven't had

Do I have to start the last.FM Software to send the fingerprints while listening or is scrobbling with the foobar2000 plugin sufficient?

If you are using a standalone plugin, you are not submitting fingerprints. If you are using the client and have that running in the background, your track will be fingerprinted. Note: this only works for MP3's at the moment, and only once for each track.

I'd like it if there was a spot where you could send to Last.fm that song X is the same as song Y. I'm really tired of seeing good songs like U + Ur Hand or Potential Breakup Song not getting their recognition because people don't tag right. For example, people will tag as U & Ur Hand or U Ur Hand or You and You're Hand, etc and people tag the other as Potential Break Up Song or The Potential Breakup Song etc. So, I hope the fingerprinting thing can be put to good use very soon.
