Is anyone else having trouble getting duplicate songs to add? For example if I add an album by an artist, and also their greatest hits, all the songs that are on the original album refuse to add to my collection on the greatest hits.
I get that its a good way to avoid duplicates, but sometimes they are slightly different versions, or you just want the duplicates so you can play each album through in full.
I can't find a way to over ride this which is a bit irritating. I may have to go down the Playlist route for all greatest hits albums.

It has been like this since iTunes Match and seeing the Duplicate iCloud status annoys the hell out of me.
