True.  Myea, didn't think of that scenario.  But I'm still convinced the
current way is the best we can do currently .. because it allows who
really really want all their music organized in a 100% correct way to do
that. 

Luckily it won't break that badly in the 700 itunes songs case, as it'd
only happen with the "Greatest hits" like albums.

Yea, and it will work fine in 99 out of 100 cases.

No, but I don't currently see a way to make it work 100% on every
possible scenario.
