We're running into a few issues where we're searching via a discogs artist id and getting data for an artist with the same name but who are not the same artist.
One example is the Swedish band Kent. There is a discogs artist called "Kent" who is not this band, discogs artist ID 17483. The actual disgogs artist ID for Kent is 90653 - their name for the band is "Kent (2)".
Here are the discogs links: http://www.discogs.com/artist/17483-Kenthttp://www.discogs.com/artist/90653-Kent-2
If I do a search for either discogs artist ID 17483 or 90653 I get the same data back, in each case it refers back to discogs artist ID 17483.
This means in our application we're displaying the same biography and associated information for both of these artists - the Swedish band - but it is incorrect.
This issue appears to be repeated for all other bands with the same name, for example Discogs ID 467453: http://www.discogs.com/artist/467453-Kent-7.
Is it simply the case that you are linking your results to the discogs ID with the exact name match, which could be incorrect?
