no. they won't be unique. they will all be tagged with the same album title. that's not unique and therefore (I'd guess depending on what music player used) will end up all in the same album in the library. you can store them however you want but anything tagged with Morphine as an artist and Cure for Pain as the album title (wither it's a single or an album) will end up in the "Cure for Pain" album in the library regardless of the track number or any other tagged information or file structure. _______________________________________________ Musicbrainz-style mailing list Musicbrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style
