Sorry, I forgot! Will send myself a reminder for this evening...

True, but I like it for a couple of reasons. Firstly, I want the
path/filename to represent the core information (artist, track name,
album name, track ordering) without use of tags. That's so I can use
regular file based tools & scripting etc. So I'd have to have the
notion of disc number somewhere - I could put it in the track number
(e.g. "1-4") but I just prefer it at the directory level. It also makes
sense to me that the disc is the "atomic item" in a way - if I need to
rerip a CD because of a problem I just delete the dir and rerip the
disc. A little more foolproof than deleting some subset of files from
the dir.

Finally, almost all of the multi disc albums I have are mixed DJ sets
where the disc really is a useful unit - the music starts and 74 mins
later stops, with no breaks. Obviously track becomes somewhat less
meaningful here, but disc becomes very significant. Each disc is also
often differentiated from others in the same album by style, genre
etc.

Regardless, I don't put my format forward as "the right way" - I was
just using it as an example of how dbP format strings work.
