I am not sure this entry was needed.
The 3 parts were released at different times, i think it's better to keep 3 separate entries.

Yeah, the download with all three albums... is just a zip with the contents of all three albums. So you have three songs with Track 01, Track 02, Track 03, etc.

Maybe we can add something to the notes about the full OST download?

Multiple collection soundtracks exist. All being albums released at separate times and then bundled together for another release.

Digital albums are much more problematic, and we really aren't equipped to handle them the way they are distributed in practice. There are cases where new tracks are added to a soundtrack download page on a continual basis, but it wouldn't be reasonable to add a new album page every time that happens. As with each case, it's kind of up to individual judgement concerning what makes sense, particularly for free downloads like this.

I partially agree, but I do feel it may serve best to have it, just because people will most likely download the full album from the website and like to use 1 entry on vgmdb for their comparison.

Yes, but usually these collections have proper tracklistings.

These guys just threw all the files willy nilly in a zip and called it a day.

They do have proper tracklistings, put it in a media player like foobar2000 and sort by album, song names are correct, as are the volumes, and the artist

Isn't this http://vgmdb.net/album/42016 exactly what this conversation was about?

Er, yeah, I had the feeling someone added the album before me, but didn't find the discussion.
