What is the difference between track separation and title separation?
Track separation ensures that the same recording isn't played too frequently by recognising each track instance as unique.
 
Title separation deals with different songs that share the same title, such as Christmas songs. For example, multiple artists might have their own versions of "Silent Night". Bear in mind this will also separate completely different songs that happen to have the same title, such as 'Hello' by Adele and 'Hello' by Lionel Richie, or 'The Power of Love' by Jennifer Rush, 'The Power of Love' by Frankie Goes to Hollywood and 'The Power of Love' by Huey Lewis and the News.
