Hi all,

I would like to get a folder structure of

album/disc1
/disc2
...

for multi-disc albums. This worked before, but now doesn't anymore with

============== *snip* ==============
$ beet version
beets version 1.3.2
plugins: scrub, lastgenre, inline
============== *snap* ==============

and

============== *snip* ==============
$ cat ~/.config/beets/config.yaml
directory: ~/Music/
library: ~/Music/musiclibrary.blb
plugins: scrub lastgenre inline
threaded: true

import:
timid: true
move: false

per_disc_numbering: true

paths:
default: $albumartist/$album%aunique{}/%if{$multidisc,Disc
$disc/}$track $title

item_fields:
multidisc: 1 if disctotal > 1 else 0
============== *snap* ==============

Any idea what's going wrong?

Cheers,
Nico

Got it. The album I wanted to import was a compilation so the "default" path didn't kick in. Adding

paths:                                                                          
    default: $albumartist/$album%aunique{}/%if{$multidisc,disc$disc/}$track $title
    comp: Compilations/$album%aunique{}/%if{$multidisc,disc$disc/}$track $title

fixed it.
