In Match to One Album If Force Allow Low Scoring matches option is enabled should allow track matches out of duration

Description

Usually if a potential match contains tracks that differ by more than 10 seconds between the length recorded on Musicbrainz/Discogs and the actual track length of computer file we reject the match. This is an importnat extra check agaoinst bad matches, especially incorrect versions of the the right album.

However, there are cases where the user wants to match to that album:

  • It is correct album and the track length information is incorrect in MusicBrainz/Discogs

  • It is is correct album but issue with encoding process had added extra space

  • It is digital version (e.g Quobuz) and it has encoded lengths slightly differently

  • it is the wrong version but track listing is same and it is the best version available and better than no match.

Match to One Album allows you to select one album and enabling Force Allow Poor Matches removes some checks, but it doesnt currenlty remove the Track Length check. We should remove this addtional check to allow user to force a match to an imperfect match

See In Match to One Album If Force Allow Low Scoring matches option is enabled should allow track matches out of duration for more details.
