In Settings, Export, Subdirectory structure for albums there is "Example: Beatles/Help!/13. Yesterday.mp3". Could you make this example based on the actual "Subdirectory structure for albums" setting. This would make it easy to check that you had got the expected setting. I made mistake the first time I changed this setting and couldn't see the "wrong" naming until I had done the export. Obviously the same would also apply to "Subdirectory structure for playlists".

You mean, parsing the structure and printing out the result for the example song? Sounds like a very doable (and nice) feature, thanks for the suggestion.

Yes, so for example I use:
{album-artist}/{album}/{disc=CD $}/{album-artist} - {no=$$} - {title}.mp3
So this should show:
Example: Beatles/CD 1/Help!/Beatles - Help! - 01 - Yesterday.mp3
Is possible to detect if there is more than 1 CD for album. If so, the disc part could be omitted.
A more complex addition would be to also have an option for "various artists" naming scheme. This would have a different layout. For example, I use "{album}/{album} - {no=$$} - {artist} - {title}.mp3".

I've already thought about the show disc only, if there are multiple discs thing, I'll most certainly do that some time in the future, I don't think this is really high priority though.

I agree that it isn't high priority. Its easy to move the files between directories afterwards. Not as easy to rename them.
