It seems that the only criteria is song name. This is pretty dumb, actually,
since they could have used additional criteria. I have several groups of
songs with the same names - 801 actually, since a lot of classical music has
the same names for different movements, and I have a lot of jazz music with
multiple performances of the same tunes.

Sigh...
