- Motivation
The same song (of the same duration, with the same performers…basically the exact same audio) may appear on different albums—take, for example, any song that also appears on an album in the Now That's What I Call Music! (Q3270600) series. Alternatively, the same song may be covered by different artists, which isn't necessarily implied at the moment when tracklist (P658) is used on different albums by those artists. Adding a property such as this as a qualifier would be another way to disambiguate these. Mahir256 (talk) 04:26, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

(@Pigsonthewing: A release group refers to a album, an EP, or a single released independently of other songs (or with remixes and edits, as is the case for many such releases). A recording refers to a representation in audio of a specific performance of a song, which may be included on different albums (see the new example I provided above). This means that cover versions of a song on different albums would have different values for this property. Apologies if I'm repeating myself. Mahir256 (talk) 16:00, 14 August 2017 (UTC))
- Discussion
- Please explain how this differs from our use of MusicBrainz release group ID (P436). Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 18:11, 2 August 2017 (UTC)
- Also, I am concerned that the example given, Q753105, has instance of (P31) = single (Q134556) and performer (P175) = Britney Spears (Q11975), which would render it incorrect for Glee: The Music, Volume 4 (Q1938129).

Comment is this meant to be a qualifier for tracklist values ?
