Hi,

My music library is currently organized as follows:

/Music/Artist/Album/ - and this third step can either be a single folder, for single disc releases, or contain any number of folders for multi-disc releases, artwork etc.

Is there any way to tell beets to treat everything at the third folder level as a single album, regardless of how many additional folders it may or may not contain? (Essentially apply the --flat flag to all ‘Album’ level folders, if I understand the documentation correctly).

Hmm; could shell globbing work? Something like `beet import --flat /Music/*/*`?
