Here's a technique I use (a bit of a hybrid - and I -mostly- use this
for audiobooks I've ripped to MP3 for listening to in the car.
1) All CDs have the same artist/album/genre/year/etc tags
2) CD 1 tracks start numbered 101 and up, CD2 starts 201, and up, etc
3) in MP3Tag, I use the tag-to-filename formula
Code:
--------------------
%artist% - %album% - CD$left($num(%track%,4),2)-$right($num(%track%,4),2) -
%title%
--------------------
to convert the track numbers to CD01-01, CD01-02, etc
The advantage here is mostly with MP3 players. Some are pretty stupid,
but seem to always be able to figure out either "sort in alpha order"
or "sort in ascending track order", so I'm good.
I started out doing this for SC thinking I'd be converting FLACs to
MP3s to listen to in the car - but in actual fact, I listen to
audiobooks and lectures there almost exclusively (although my wife
refuses to hear anything more about the ancient and classical Greeks
:)).
The disadvantage is that it's inconvenient to listen to just one CD of
a multi-CD set (easy in the web interface - 100's are CD1, 200's are
CD2, etc) but tough with a squeezebox 3.
Oh - if the multiple CDs have different labels (like, say, Mike
Oldfield's Light&Dark), I put the separate name in the comments field,
and use the formula
Code:
--------------------
%artist% - %album% -
CD$left($num(%track%,4),2)(%comment%)-$right($num(%track%,4),2) - %title%
--------------------
to label as
Mike Oldfield - Light&Dark CD01(Light)-01 - some title
I hope this helps someone here - at least with audiobooks...
