Yes...  I "get it"...  And I agree that the file structure does provide
some indirect "metadata", and assumes that you are bunching albums up
together...  For the most part, this is what I do...  However, because I
have a strategy of separating lossy and lossless files, my strategy
screws up the indirect metadata by separating the album tracks if I have
a mix of lossy and lossless files...

The prime example is where I have purchased the CD and rip it to FLAC,
and the CD contains a code to download 3 bonus lossy tracks...

But it sounds like my strategy is not common, and that this is a
"personal problem" that is unique to me, and I just have to learn to
deal with it... ;)
