I’ve got a few Vinyl rips I am importing with beets, an example is https://musicbrainz.org/release/b3d3f70c-5a87-4a5d-9d74-8aa0fa5a4a4b
Which ends up with the following in my music directory
matt07211@fbi-hq /mnt/3TB-Drive-01/Audio/Music/The Prodigy $ ls -R \(1997\)\ The\ Fat\ Of\ The\ Land\ \[Vinyl\]/
'(1997) The Fat Of The Land [Vinyl]/':
'Disc 01' 'Disc 02'
'(1997) The Fat Of The Land [Vinyl]/Disc 01':
'01. Smack My Bitch Up.flac' '03. Diesel Power.flac' cover.jpg
'02. Breathe.flac' '04. Funky Shit.flac'
'(1997) The Fat Of The Land [Vinyl]/Disc 02':
'01. Serial Thrilla.flac' '03. Narayan.flac' '05. Climbatize.flac'
'02. Mindfields.flac' '04. Firestarter.flac' '06. Fuel My Fire.flac'
And I want the End result to look like
matt07211@fbi-hq /mnt/3TB-Drive-01/Audio/Music/The Prodigy $ ls -R \(1997\)\ The\ Fat\ Of\ The\ Land\ \[Vinyl\]/
'(1997) The Fat Of The Land [Vinyl]/':
'Vinyl 1' 'Vinyl 2'
'(1997) The Fat Of The Land [Vinyl]/Vinyl 1':
'A1. Smack My Bitch Up.flac' 'B1. Diesel Power.flac' cover.jpg
'A2. Breathe.flac' 'B2. Funky Shit.flac'
'(1997) The Fat Of The Land [Vinyl]/Vinyl 2':
'C1. Serial Thrilla.flac' 'C3. Narayan.flac' 'D2. Climbatize.flac'
'C2. Mindfields.flac' 'D1. Firestarter.flac' 'D3. Fuel My Fire.flac'
So my questions are;
- Is beets able to get the exact contents of the # column on the MusicBrainz Website.
- Is beets able to get the Disc Title Label from the site and use it as the folder name?
- If the answer is yes to at least one of those questions, how would I go about doing that/making use of that data?

or the question phrased a different way, how fine grained level of control can I achieve with the current beets software?
