* The importer now detects **multi-disc albums** and tags them together. Using a
heuristic based on the names of directories, certain structures are classified
as multi-disc albums: for example, if a directory contains subdirectories
labeled "disc 1" and "disc 2", these subdirectories will be coalesced into a
single album for tagging.

There is one exception to this rule: directories that look like separate parts
of a *multi-disc album* are tagged together as a single release. This
situation is detected by looking at the names of directories. If one directory
has sub-directories with, for example, "disc 1" and "disc 2" in their names,
they get lumped together as a single album. The marker words for this feature
are "part", "volume", "vol.", "disc", and "CD".
