---Edit---
For the album.nfo issue- The album is 2cd Fleetwood Mac- The Very Best of. In my folder structure I have treated this as one release. All songs are saved in \Fleetwood Mac\Very Best Of
MusicBrainzPicard has treated each cd as a separate release, even though it is the same album release. When looking at Test 4, it has created two folders for this album The Very Best Of_b444 and The Very Best Of_f665. In Test 5, it has failed to save any album.nfo

General comments
- I see a conflict with file names for single file export and multiple exports on the same day. User might be testing, or incrementally building the library and export will overwrite previous
- New tag... <scrapedmbid>false</scrapedmbid>
- New tag... <musicbrainzreleasegroupid></musicbrainzreleasegroupid> Are there anymore?
- Noticed... <track></track> has been removed
- Wondering if the "OK" button can be renamed to something like "Start" or "Export Now".
