Album Artwork

In some sense it's actually quite the opposite. Getting a tagging program to extract the album art and name it the same as the discnumber is much simpler than to have it work out whether it needs to use %discsubtitle% (with illegal chacacters removed), folder.jpg or a combination of both (quite a few albums have one disc without a subtitle and the other with).

It doesn't matter how many discs are in the album, just match the %discnumber% tag (I actually have it set as '01').

I'm fully aware my pains are self inflicted, they usually are, but something else I've just thought of is how I organise boxsets!
'The Beatles in Mono' boxset contains 11 CDs, all of which are albums; I have a tag called BOXTITLE and set it to 'The Beatles in Mono' and have all the CD's tagged with album name, so there's no discsubtitle to attach artwork to (given I have them all under a single directory).

Wouldn't it be nice to simplify the rules down to:
embedded JPEG, PNG, GIF or BMP
%discnumber%.[jpg|png]
%discnumber%.%tracknumber%.[jpg|png]
%groupname%.[jpg|png]
;-)

Obviously I'm not suggesting you remove all the other rules!

Thanks anyway for your time and consideration.
