Indeed, I'm working on a Bash script that simplifies the process. If I'm

You suggested that a few pages back, and I acknowledged at the time that
it was foolish of me to be offended by the inefficiency of that
approach. It still is, and I still am.

Four months after I mentioned that LMS 8+ now supports cue files that
point to multiple audio source files, I have finally done a test with
encouraging results. IF your OS and filesystem both support symlinks, it
is now possible to have tracks in a box set appear in your library in

Continuing on the subject of using one cue file per track to create a
separate album from the tracks included in a box set, one significant
obstacle is the number of cue files that have to be created, especially
if it's all done by hand.

Three months after my previous post, I have to say that the workaround I

Clearly, having multiple copies of the identical file in different
folders and with different album tags and different track numbers is the
best solution. But the inefficiency of that offends me, for some reason.
(It's not necessarily logical. It's not as though I'm remarkably
efficient in
Seems that the easiest think would be 2 copies. One as individual
albums, the other as a multidisc album. The multidisc would have all
songs in the same folder with a common Album title. File names for the
tracks would be something like "Disc# Track# Track title" and include
Disc# in the tags.

Yes and to my listening pleasure no.
My solution to the scenario described is to generally name the primary
album tracks with the album title.
The bonus tracks will then get an album title that is of the style
"Album (extended)" usually named to match how it may popularly be
identified elsewhere e.g. tack on a Limited Edition,

I have all the Beatles Albums on CD and ripped them to my server, then

Actually I have just realised I have this scenario myself in a few
instances
An example
I have 2 copies of Faces - Long Player CD.
One an early CD and the other a reissue / remaster with bonus tracks.
I ripped both
The first is tagged as "Long Player" the second as "Long Player +"

How about a playlist for the compilation?
It would be what TE wanted, if one could handle (some) playlists as
virtual albums.

I've seen the case of multiple albums tagged discussed elsewhere (other

It doesn't work using a separator for Album titles.
I changed the Album tag for the track "Mellow Yellow" by Donovan to

The track is no longer listed under the album "Easy Like Sunday Morning"

The short answer is no.
Although you can tag with multiple albums the way the scanner works is
that it looks in folders which typically would be
