Multiple CDs

Quick question which I am sure has been raised many many times but how do people file and tag multiple CD albums?

I have just ripped a five CD box set and at the moment if I want to play the whole thing Ej plays track 1, 1, 1, 1, 1 then 2, 2, 2, 2, 2 etc; which is bloody annoying!! Any cunning plans or ideas?

ps Happy Christmas and New Year :D

A quick fix would to be to create a playlist with the songs in the order you prefer and load it to play the entire set.

depends on how you want it... i usually perform a trick that is quite lenghty to explain, but in involves renaming the files so that they are in the right order from the first to the last album, then using tag&rename and its allmusic.com ripping function. I then end up with tracks 1-204 or similar, if it is a big collection.

just have to write a "1" before the name of files for 1st cd .... a n before the name of files for nth cd

so it will look like that

101-name of track
102-name of track
[...]
201-name of track

it's easy to do with tag&rename using the optoin "rename from tag"
