[QUOTE="MJGraf, post: 704426, member: 17886"] Hi, this is a very interesting thread, because I'm just about to retag my collection to match "MP's understanding" of multi disk releases as good as possible. I'm using MusicBrainz Picard to tag my files, name them and sort them into folders because I don't have to take care of any naming convention, which is (in most cases) automatically taken care of by MusicBrainz. In your example of "The Wall", MusicBrainz has two entries: "The Wall (disc 1)" ([url=http://musicbrainz.org/release/c1adac5d-a176-49e2-946e-aff7b70a592f.html]Release: The Wall (disc 1) - MusicBrainz[/url]) and "The Wall (disc 2)" ([url=http://musicbrainz.org/release/6816265d-f0ea-4c8b-86f5-25a05475698a.html]Release: The Wall (disc 2) - MusicBrainz[/url]). As a result, in the folder structure I would have two folders "\...\Pink Floyd\The Wall (disc 1)" and "\...\Pink Floyd\The Wall (disc 2)". The album tag for the tracks from disc 1 would contain "The Wall (disc 1)", for the tracks from disc 2 "The Wall (disc 2)". To get the AlbumArt displayed, I currently use folder.jpgs, which I have copied in both folders (not ideal due to duplication, but in times of 3 TB drives, it doesn't really matter...) However, there is also a plugin for Picard called "Disc Numbers" ([url=http://musicbrainz.org/doc/Picard_Plugins]Picard Plugins - MusicBrainz[/url]), which - as I understand - would strip the "(disc 1)" and "(disc 2)" from both, the folder name and the album tag and instead put the correct disc number in the respective tag. However, in my understanding, this means that all the tracks of multiple discs of one album would be within one folder called "The Wall", making it hard to distinguish track 1 of disc 1 from track 1 of disc 2 on a pure file basis (but on the other hand, requiring only one folder.jpg...). I still have to think about this, because maybe this could be solved by putting the disc# in front of the trac# in the filenames for multi disc albums... To make a long story short: I don't know whether you use MusicBrainz, but which of the two possibilities described above would you choose? I personally don't really care as long as it is the way MP supports (and will support in future versions) multi disc albums. Thanks for your great work, Michael [/QUOTE]
