[QUOTE="jameson_uk, post: 704494, member: 11220"] MP understands most things... If you have album tags for "The Wall (disc 1)" and "The Wall (disc 2)" these are considered separate albums which might cause issues with internet lookups but will still work. Using the disc ID tag you can have MP (and other programs) recognise it as one album but multiple discs. I use this approach and store my music still in separate folders so I have album artist\album\disc#\tracks for multi-disc albums. Starting in 1.2 the music views will work for non multi-disc albums by adding a view level between album and tracks if there are multiple discs. So you can go Pink Floyd The Wall Disc 1 Track 01 Track 02 ... and you can press play at any level. If you want to play the whole of the album you can select "The Wall" and press play if you only want to play disc1 you can go down to the next level and then press play and you will play that disc. For single disc albums it will just jump straight from album to tracks by default. In MP 1.1 the disc tag is prefixed to the track number so if you have the album tagged as "The Wall" with disc IDs set this will list the tracks as 101. Disc 1 Track 01 102. Disc 1 Track 02 ... 201. Disc 2 Track 01 202. Disc 2 Track 02 .... MP will cope with either method (slightly better in 1.2) and using either method you can still store music in separate folders. Which you choose I guess is down to how you want to treat you multi-disc albums [/QUOTE]
