Aliases/Shortcuts to songs

A feature I'd love to see on the iPod (and in iTunes) is song aliases or shortcuts.

Let's say I am a Paul McCartney fan (which I am) and have ripped my copies of Band On The Run, Wingspan, Greatest Hits etc (which I have). All of these albums have the same version of the same song 'Band On The Run'. Rather than storing 3 copies, I'd love to have one and a pointer ('alias' or 'shortcut', depending on your OS persuasion) for the other albums.

That way I could play any full album in the way it was intended, but only have one copy.

Now I know there is the singles versus albums debate...

And MMJB gives you aliases on the iPod?

Not on it.

It only gives me that on my HDD, not iPod.

Sry for not specifying
