* 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.
* The new :doc:`/plugins/chroma` uses the `Acoustid`_ open-source acoustic

unidentified albums.
* There isn't currently a good solution for multi-disc albums. Currently, every
disc is treated as a separate release, so you'll see "69 Love Songs (disc 1)",
"69 Love Songs (disc 2)" and such. We should be more flexible about this.
