I tend to vary my system depending on the multi-disc album itself. Live recordings that span multiple discs I tend to label as one album and number the tracks using 101, 102,... and 201, 202,...; no disc number, and I can easily figure out the disc number again if I ever need it (haven't yet).
Albums that I feel should be kept to separate discs, I use one album title and then the disc number. I have LMS set to browse them as independent albums. If I want to play both I can queue them one one after the other. They still tend to go in the same folder, although that depends more one when I did the ripping. Occasionally, I'll split a multi-disc set into completely independent albums. This has been rare, but occurs if there is a multi-concert box set, multi-album box set, etc. I also do it when artist rerelease an album with a b-sides disc, etc. Ultimately, it is a matter of how you envision listening to your music. I used to pad zeroes on tracks, but I don't anymore. It was an artifact of earlier days with windows and players that fussed over whether 1 should go before 10, etc. Believe it or not, Winamp and its derivative players (MediaMonkey, etc) used to treat the track number field as a string not an integer. Not sure why they did that except that I seem to recall a time when the online dbs used to tag track numbers as "Track 01, Track 02, etc." I suppose it was to account for that. I think people sometimes would number tracks as d1t1, d1t2, etc. I think a lot of those methods are a thing of the past. I still think the players have the option to read the track number tag as a string rather than an integer. I have no need to ever test that out, but it is something to be vaguely aware of. -- emalvick ------------------------------------------------------------------------ emalvick's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35382 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93655 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
