Music naming

The recommended folder structure for music is Artist\Album\Song

 \Music
    \Artist Name
       \Album Name
          1- Song.mp3
          2- Song.mp3

This is not a requirement and other structures will also work, but this is the most common method. Other supported structures are Album\Song:

 \Music
    \Album Name
          1- Song.mp3
          2- Song.mp3

Any naming convention for audio files is acceptable. Track numbers are retrieved using embedded ID3 tag information.

Multi-Disc Albums

Albums can have disc sub-folders using any of the following folder names, where X represents the disc number:

• Disc X
• Disk X
• CD X
• Disc-X
• Disk-X
• CD-X
• DiscX
• DiskX
• CDX
• VolX
• Vol-X
• VolumeX
• Volume-X

For example:

 \Music
    \Artist Name
       \Album Name
         \Disc 1
            1- Song.mp3
            2- Song.mp3
         \Disc 2
            1- Song.mp3
            2- Song.mp3
