back to the proposal: i would say that we should allow all box sets to

just a box containing other, existing, boxes (bear with me) - in which
case that's basically the same logic we apply to boxes that contain
separately available items.
eg
- if the 180 set is a meta-package of 10x 10 disc volumes (with the
same order), which are also available separately, then add them
separately. if all the discs are available separately, then add no box
sets.
I wish we could just add box sets. We're never going to have the
worst case scenario where every box set ever was added. But if they
were, someone must have *REALLY* wanted to add them considering all
the work that would have had to gone into entering correct track
titles for 180 CDs!
How about we not worry about the duplication caused by box sets?
People who own individual CDs don't want box set release titles and
people who own box sets don't want individual release titles messing
up their box sets. Why don't we just let people add both? It's not
like they'd cause any harm. There are already bazillions of releases
under each composer.
Can anyone think of a reason why we shouldn't allow both box sets and
individual discs?
