I use to store tracks in a hierarchical folder pattern like the following "auto-organize" mask:
\<Album Artist>\<Album>\<Track #:2> - <Title> *
and write movement numbers into the titles:

The path length might be still pretty long, but is manageable.

Well... that was easier than I thought...

It seems you can put any text in the Disc # field, not just numbers....

Works for me, happy enough

Just wanted to ask what methods people use for sorting/displaying classical works?

The usual format for CD if for a number of "pieces" to be featured, each having a number of movements - each movement is usually an individual track.

Adding the title of the piece to each filename, plus the movement gives a ridiculously long unreadable filename.

At the moment, I have each piece as a separate album, allowing me to name the movements within that "album", but this leaves me with multiple "albums" which are really the same album, if you see what I mean.

The most ideal way I can think of would be to classify each piece within the album as an individual disc. This would give the right layout visually - the only problem is it will just say Disc 1, disc 2, etc without giving the name of the piece...

I don't suppose there's any way of adding a sub-title to discs within an album?

Does anyone have any clever workarounds for this problem?
