Manual mbid mapping: Auto link/match more tracks from the same album/session

      When matching listen's to MBID's in LB, you are usually repeating the search and match steps X times for an album, X being how many tracks the album has (well, I usually am, I don't listen to many singles).

      This would take the form of a toggle or a checkbox.

      If toggled/checked, after manually matching a listen LB starts a search within X time of the manually submitted listen (2 hours before and after?), and runs through each submitted listen in that time period, checking if they could be from the same album/release, and if so, links them.

      I don't know the ways this could work technically, but I imagine it could run through each unmatched recording in the time period, run the existing search (using the submitted data in the format [track title - artist name]), and if a recording from the same release comes up in the top 10 ( ? ) search results, link it.

      Possible mockup:

      Auto-link link toggle (or checkbox)

      Info box:

      (text reads:
      Link your other listens from this album.

      Scans your listens in a similar time period (2 hours before and 2 hours after), and will attempt to auto-link them.

      The link will be successful if the existing submitted data (track title - artist name) is a close enough match to a track on the same album.)

      After 'Add mapping' has been clicked:

      (make the dots, or something else, animate to show that something's happening)

      After auto-link has completed:

      (pop up at bottom of display, text reads:

      You linked a track!

      DECLARATION - WHO BURNED THE BRIDGES

      Auto-link matched 3 tracks

      DECLARATION - TO NO RETURN
      DECLARATION - ALWAYS RESTRICTED
      DECLARATION - LIFELONG SUBSCRIPTION
