[Solved] How to setup for double CD/vinyl albums?

Help
1

The default behavior for beets when having two CDs/vinyls for an album is to copy everything in a folder and tracks are numbered in continuation to the first CD.

I’d like to have it like it should be (in my opinion): separate folders for each CD: like CD1, CD2.

One example: DJ Shadow - Our Pathetic Age. The album has two CDs - one instrumental and one with vocals. Another one: Opeth - In Cauda Venenum - one CD with English lyrics/vocals, one with Swedish lyrics/vocals.

Hi! Please check out the FAQ:

Sounds like you might also be interested in the per_disc_numbering config option.

Great! Thanks, Adrian. That’s what I was looking for.
