It does seem strange that what I would have thought to be the most common folder and tagging strategy doesn't work out of the box.
Folder layout:
Code:
AlbumArtist/Album/CD01 or Disc 1/
/CD02 or Disc 2/
...
With the tags:
Album containing the album name
DiscNumber containing the disc number
DiscTotal containing the total number of discs in the album
I can't think of any good reason why one would deviate from this, and it's proven the most compatible in my limited testing. Are you targeting a particular ripper or tagging program? It would be interesting to see what most people are doing if you have telemetry.
