Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I don't think it is a problem. But is a valid option to tagging music correctly and to organize discographies of artists/bands; the options on Namida are already great, so, it's just some things that I don't see in any offline media player that would be cool to see in it.

Describe the solution you'd like.

To multiple artists with the same name:

Adding some way to "organize" multiple artists with the same name without merging all together. A way to do that (if possible) is like i see on rym, for example. With tags to organize all the artists in the database, like "artist01", "artist02", this would make possible to have many artists with the same name without merging it all together and making the library looks wrong.

To side projects of an artist/band linking it all together at one name without having to miss tag the side project in purpose to make the search dynamic:

I see it happening taking rym as a basis again: making a option similar to the DRA (Direclty Related Artists) system of the site.

Additional context

I don't get it how no one seems to ever thought of that. Maybe I don't know much about coding an app or a program? Yes, but it does intrugues me.
I see the first case happening in this situation: There is a song on the album "Milagre dos Peixes" by Milton Nascimento that features a kid named Nico, on the artists "option" (don't know how to call it better now, sorry) the app will think that this Nico is the same Nico of The Velvet Underground.
The second happens when there's an artist/band side project; like, Sonic Youth has Ciccone Youth, Autechre has Lego Feet and Gescom, Aphex Twin has AFX and others, you get it. It's more like a way to navigate rapidly through an artist discographie without having to search for the side project name, making it more dynamic.
