After a lot of reading and trying , finally more or less came to a solution of an album that contains multiple CDs .  
But there remains something that I can’t figure out where it is.  
Example :  
Jesus Christ Superstar is an album with two cd’s but with a beet import it is written as  
Jesus Christ Superstar 1 with Cd1 and Jesus Christ Superstar 2 with cd2, instead of Jesus Christ Superstar cd1 and cd2  
The same thing happens with the cd GRRR by the Rolling Stones  
On this album cd1 2 3 4 and five and number 6 are listed as Vinyl 6 .  
The cd’ 1 to 5 are imported as if GRRR2 and the Vinyl already GRRR1

aths:  
default: %asciify{$albumartist}/%asciify{$album}%aunique{}/%if{$multidisc,Disc $disc/} %asciify{$albumartist} - %asciify{$album} $track - %asciify{$title}  
item\_fields:  
multidisc: 1 if disctotal \> 1 else 0  
singleton: Non-Album/%asciify{$artist}/%asciify{$title}  
comp:Compilations/%asciify{$album}%aunique{}/$track %asciify{$title}

What is the actual question here? Sorry it is very difficult to read and understand what this all is about.

Pleas try to rephrase 🙂 Thanks!

Jesus Christ Superstar is an album with two cd’s but with  
Must be writeen as  
Andrew Lloyd Webber  
Jesus Christ Superstar  
Cd1/tracks  
Cd2/tracks  
But Beet makes it  
Andrew Lloyd Webber  
Jesus Christ Superstar 1 /tracks tracks
