It would be nice if sound-juicer could use an alternative directory structure
for compilation albums.

I use a structure like this
Compilation Series/Year - Album/Track - Artist - Title.flac
for compilations, f.ex.
Absolute Dance/1994 - Absolute Dance 5/07 - Cappella - U & Me.flac

and for ordinary albums

Artist/Year - Album/Track - Title.flac

Also it would be handy to able to set the root directory "temporarily" for
each ripping session or have a number of pre-configured ripping root dirs.
F.ex. /data/music/albums and /data/music/singles

Thanks!

Hi,
First up,
Not really sure how these differ. They both appear to be different
takes on 'please make the folder structure configurable'. Perhaps they
could be merged?

Secondly, I have to agree with the configuration issue.
I like to layout my music with the year of release in the folder
structure, so its like this:

The Prodigy - 1994 - Music for the Jilted Generation/01 -Intro.ogg

The year is the bit i can't do with sound-juicer at the moment.

I did fire up gconf, and found there is a setting to change this
(/apps/sound-juicer/path_pattern for anyone interested), but changes
here are not reflected in the UI (The 'album hierarchy' bit is blank),
so i can't tell without doing a rip if it works.
Annoyingly i a broken cd drive at the moment, so can't test if it at
least works...

This/These issues look more like these bugzilla bugs[1][2] then that
mentioned in earlier posts of 475657.
