well, like the topic says, i'm wondering what's (currently) the best way to organize albums that have multiple cds, if you're going to use xbmc's music database feature? i'm talking both directory structure and tags.
do i need to add the cd no. to the track number tag (so that the first song on cd1 is track 101 and the first song on cd2 is 201 for example) for xbmc to handle it correctly in the database?
right now my files are named for example "artist - 101 - song.mp3" and "artist - 201 - song.mp3", but the tags are without the disc no. xbmc doesn't like this setup though when you're sorting by the track number tag, since it'll put the first song from both cds together in the listing, and the second song from both cds together, and so on.
i'm just looking for a solution to get around this, but i haven't found a good way yet (except not using the database feature, and just navigating by directory).
thanks,
