My library contains just one copy of the actual .flac files for each performance. For a number of my CDs, my playlist folder has one static playlist for that particular CD. The playlist folder also has a number of different 'my evening concert' playlists that each list several pieces from different CDs. For example: A CD has the cellist Rostropovitch playing a Schubert sonata with that has three movements, a short collection of five one-movement pieces by Schumann called Five Pieces in a Folk Tone Op. 102, and a Debussy Cello Sonata with three movements. There are 11 tracks on the CD, corresponding to the individual movements of the pieces. When I rip it, I get 11 .flac files, one for each movement. The first three tracks are the Schubert Sonata and I put these three .flac files in a folder called 'Schubert - D.821 Sonata - Rostropovich" and put this folder in my library tree under Schubert > Sonatas > D.821. There may already be other folders there of the same piece but by a different performer. Then I put the next five tracks in a separate folder called "Schumann - Op. 102 Five Pieces - Rostropovich" and store this folder under Schumann > Chamber Music > Duets > Op. 102, which may have sub-folders with other performances of the Five Pieces too. Finally I put the last three tracks into a separate folder called "Debussy - Cello Sonata - Rostropovich" and file this under French > Debussy. When I want to listen, I almost always think of which pieces by which composers played by which performers I want to hear, and not which individual tracks. So I browse my music folder down to those sub-folders that contain the particular performances and add these folders to a playlist. I may want an evening of different Schubert Sonatas by different performers, or an evening of the Florestan Trio playing piano trios by various composers. But if I especially like the original CD, I will make a static playlist that reproduces the CD with the same pieces in the same order they were in on the CD. In my example above, I would make a static playlist that includes the Schubert sonata by Rostropovich, the Five Pieces by Schumann with Rostropovich, and the Debussy Cello Sonata by Rostropovich and save the playlist, so that whenever I want to hear that CD, I just use the playlist.
