Questions / Re: Workflow for reconciling re-ripped tracks

I don't know if I understand your problem, which seems to be that you add the new album whilst the old one is still in your library, so they get merged if certain tags/paths are the same?
I...
· Download/rip albums to a set folder so I can view them in the 'computer' node in Musicbee.
· In the library, I find the album to be replaced and use 'Additional Tagging and Reporting tools' plugin to copy the existing tags to clipboard (including embedded album art).
· Delete the album with del > 'remove from database and computer'. It goes to recycle in case I need to retrieve it.
· Go to the computer node and paste all the tags into the replacement album (the track listing needs to be identical to the old album).
· Send to library (auto-organise set-up in library preferences).
