music multi disc volumes?

[NOCHTPC 1]

Does mb3 handle multi disc volumes, ie beethoven complete works/ volume 1 discs 1-5/ volume 2 discs 1-5...etc?

Yes it does.

 

If you have a folder Called Pink Floyd then sub folder with names corresponding to the album you will see one entry for Pink Floyd and dependent on which coverart treatment if any you can have a visual indication that this entry has multiple disks. The way different apps display the data can be slightly different.

 

To have a multi disk album display properly (not as a single disk with all track listed from multiple disks) you need to use the MP3 disk tag. For example Pink Floyd - The Wall, my folder structure is as follows

 

Pink Floyd

Pink Floyd - Animals

Pink Floyd - Atom Heart Mother

Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon

Pink Floyd - Division Bell

Pink Floyd - Echoes - The Best Of

CD1

CD2

Pink Floyd - Final Cut

Pink Floyd - Meddle

Pink Floyd - Momentary Lapse Of Reason

Pink Floyd - More

Pink Floyd - Obscured By Clouds

Pink Floyd - Pulse

Pink Floyd - Relics

Pink Floyd - Saucerful Of Secrets

Pink Floyd - The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn

Pink Floyd - The Wall

CD1

CD2

Pink Floyd - Ummagumma

CD1

CD2

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here

 

Setting the Track disk ID (all tracks) for the Wall CD1 to disk ID 1/2 and CD2 to disk ID 2/2 in a web browser, album view, I see one album entry. When I click on the album I then see two disks each with the correct track listing.

 

Different apps will display differently for example the Windows Phone app just lists all tracks from both disks BUT correctly ordered, all tracks disk 1 followed by all tracks disk 2

               cd1

               cd2

               cd3

               cd4

               cd5

          volume 2

               cd1

               cd2

               cd3

               cd4

               cd5

I've got the 60 disc Beethoven Complete Masterpieces which also is broken into 5 volumes with multiple discs for each from a single box set, but I just have the discs under the one folder because that's the way Musicbrainz shows them and doesn't break them down by volume.  Though maybe mb can make volumes some day to make it more manageable.

no, we don't support two layers of nested album folders
