Disc 1 could be studio and disc 2 live, or uptempo rockers vs ballads, or original version vs outakes and special versions. īut sometimes there is a thematic use of disc 1 or 2. An album is usually a bunch tracks meant to heard together. I understand that reasoning, the usual cause for multiple disc is that the music won't fit on oneĭisc. The logic here is that ' discs ' is arcaic has no meaning in the server context. However I think that keeping the original track order is better, because it is easy for tag aplications and similar to search for info agian if you ever want to adjust the tags.Īnd some people just get rid of the whole multidisc thing, having all in one folder and renumber them and don't use disc number tags. There is probably no consensus or rigth way to do it as long as the servers scanning logic can make sense out of it and presents the albums in a way you like it. Or do you use music folder to explore this ? Your aproach to keep sets you intend to listen to in one go in one folder you set these as the same disc ? īut then there is the setting to keep multiple disc as one album or separate album, I prefer separate albums.

I rip each disc to it's own folder so I can separate the tracks from each disc easilly. The server has no problem telling track 1 disc 1 from track 1 disc 2.

If you are using the disc number tag you don't have to mess with the track numbering. Opinions, thoughts? Has anyone found issues with this schema? I guess I tend to place files that would be intended to be listened to in one sitting in a single folder. Typically when ripping Albums that consist of multiple CD's (especially for say a live concert that spans two discs) I will rip to FLAC files in the same directory, with track numbers continuing from the last track on disc 1 + 1.Ĭontained in folder /flac/Whoever/The Ultimate ConcertĪlbumart (folder.jpg) resides in root of album name folderįor other multi-disc sets where there is say a disc for each night at a venue I keep a separate folder for each disc such as 'At the Blue Note (Friday )', 'At the Blue Note (Saturday )' Just curious what the consensus seems to be on the best way to rip and tag double or multi-CD sets.
