Music boxset with different named discs inside.

Hello!
I’ll use the new “Early years” Pink Floyd boxset as an example, but this can apply to other boxsets too.

The boxset contains different “books”, with 1 to 3 discs each.
Each “book” has a different name. ie: "1965-1967 Cambridge St/ation, “1968 Germin/ation”, etc.

So my question is:
Is it possible to have “The early years” filed as a single item under Pink Floyd and inside of it the various “books”, each with their own cover (they have different ones) and their disc?
I mean something like this:

Can Plex do this or am I forced to two choices only: 1 item with all discs; 1 item for each “book”?

I hope I’ve been clear.
Thank you!

P.S.
Sorry for multiple question. The button just didn’t seem to work and this crappy forum doesn’t allow me to cancel my posts. :frowning:

Plex doesn’t support any type of ‘box sets’ or ‘collections’.

Yeah, as Plex currently stands, you’re stuck with 1 item with all discs, or 1 item for each “book.”

Actually, if you are adding discs, you might as well do it properly:

Pink Floyd/
   The Early Years - 1965-1967 Cambridge St-ation/ 
      Disc 01/
         1. Pink Floyd - tracktitle.mp3
         2. Pink Floyd - tracktitle.mp3
         ...
      Disc 02/
         1. Pink Floyd - tracktitle.mp3
         2. Pink Floyd - tracktitle.mp3
         ...

If you are using several ‘discs’ in an album, I encourage you to use and set the ’ disc’ tag too. :wink:

This will give you at least the ‘Disc’ number in the clients.

Thanks everybody for the answers. Too bad Plex doesn’t support music collections (and gapless play).
