AMIP 2.62
iTunes 7.5.0.20
AMIP Java SDK 1.2

Steps to repro:

1. Create a playlist with 2 songs with the same artist and title.
2. Play the first song, get its playlist position using:
   
   CODE
   cl.format("%pos");
3. Do the same for the other song.
4. Notice how the two positions are the same even though they are two different songs.

This behavior is intentional, by default AMIP checks only song title to find out that song has changed, there is also an option to check file name, you can enable it in AMIP Configurator | Advanced - http://amip.tools-for.net/wiki/manual/configurator#advanced :

Consider song change only when file name changes
By default AMIP detects song change by the song title change. Song title is reported by player and in some cases player may start reporting different titles for the same song. It may be a problem if you are using automatic announcement mode, AMIP will flood the channel. When this option is enabled, additionally to song title check AMIP will check the file name. If the file name remained the same even that title has changed, AMIP will not report the song change.
