Is there any way of turning off the 'Duplicates' feature?

[MkStevo]

I have a number of albums where disc one, track one has a standard version of a track, disc two, track two has a different mix of the same track. MusicBee keeps marking them as duplicates. Fair enough. When I eventually spot that tracks have been moved to the Inbox I mark these tracks not as duplicated. I then move them from the Inbox and back into the library. This then creates three albums. One: the original - containing all tracks that were not considered duplicates. Two: the first disc tracks now marked as no longer duplicates. Three: The tracks on the second disc now marked as no longer duplicates. As I have my album view listed by 'Date added' this irritates me! So I then mark all the albums and set the date added date to the date I added that album.

This all seems rather hard work.

I've tried changing the options in the 'Manage Duplicates' window so that the options for determining duplicates takes account of the disc number, file size, play time and so on. This then seems to get lost when I close the Manage Duplicates window.

Is there a methodology of saving the options for duplicates such that duplicates across different discs, or different mixes on the same disc are not flagged as duplicates?

Is there a way of letting me manage duplicates and not have them hidden, deleted or moved to the inbox without me confirming it first?

Is there an option of keeping the date added (or possibly date modified) when items are maked as not duplicates then moving them out of the inbox such that they are returned back to the original album?

Is there an option to have duplicates marked before ripping them from the CD so that I can decide if they are duplicates or not and then 'unmark' them as duplicates as required once and for all?

I'd really appreciate any assistance that can be offered. Some of the times I've had this problem, I end up exporting the files, deleting them. Re-importing them and then altering the date just to get them to return to the one (original) album.

Obvious questions, but don't you have different track titles for the remixed versions?
Right now I'm listening to an album with remixes included as bonus tracks and I've appended the extra info - in this case [12" Version] - to the track title.

Also, under Edit > Edit Preferences > Library there is a checkbox to toggle mark and send duplicates to the Inbox, though I'm not sure if that will help you.

No. The albums in question names the songs identically, and since they are technically part of the same album, I do like to keep both CDs in the same album.

I also have a few albums that are "Deluxe" versions of albums I already own. Again these often get messed up. Those are easier to spot, and I do normally have them alongside the "Original" album.

I've got the option of moving duplicates to the inbox un-ticked but I'd really like an option to ignore all duplicates unless I'm expicitly trying to search for them if at all possible.

Are disc numbers contained inside the tags for each track? I've never run across duplicate tracks on different discs throwing the pop-up. I don't even think differently numbered tracks with the same title (and are on the same disc) throw the pop-up for me.
