Books containing multiple CD/Parts

[ivdimitro]

Hi, thanks for all the great you are doing with this project.
My question is how to handle books which are CD rips and have CDs in separate folders. Fro example structure like
/Author/Book/

• CD01
• CD02
• .....
  Currently All the CD folders are created as separate books on the shelf.
  Do you plan to introduce some functionality which can combine those folders and treat them as single book?
  Do you know an automated way to merge those folders in single book?
  Thanks.

Do you have many audiobooks like that? I know I had a few and I just manually moved them into the same folder.

I think this feature can be added without much trouble. How it would work is that if the folder name is CD# it would use that folder name as the DiscNumber field on each audio file in that folder.

You would need to write a script to fix these on your own, but I'll let you know if this feature is something that can be put in the next release.

I haven't tested this yet but I am looking forward to trying it out.

I while back I went through the process of reorganizing some books that were in an author/book/CD#/track.mp3 format. It was pretty painless to move the tracks into the root book folder until you ran into a book that had the same track names for each CD (ex. Track01.mp3, 01.mp3, etc.) versus unique tracks (0101.mp3, CD1_01.mp3, Disc01_Track01.mp3, etc.)

In hindsight I probably should have just combined them into a single m4b and been done.
