Tai Lee 23cd5453d9 Improved multi-disc album detection.
- Remove "part", "volume", "vol." multi-disc markers. These are often
  part of album titles, and not necessarily indicative of a multi-disc
  album. Only look for "CD X" and "disc X" (case insensitive), ignoring
  white space and other non-word characters.

- Don't only expect each disc to be in a subdirectory of a common parent
  directory, with all siblings belonging to the same release. Also match
  any consecutive siblings (even when the parent contains other albums)
  that are named with the same prefix and multi-disc marker.

- The `albums_in_dir(path)` function now always yields a list of paths
  along with each list of items. `ItemTask.path` is now always a list of
  paths.

- The `displayable_path(path)` function now accepts a list of paths, and
  will join them with "; " by default. This can be changed with the
  `separator` argument.

- The `sorted_walk()` function now does a case insensitive sort on
  directories, but still returns case sensitive results. This allows
  better multi-disc album detection.

- The `art_for_album()` function now takes a list of paths as its second
  argument, instead of a single path.

Beets is the media library management system for obsessive-compulsive music
geeks.

The purpose of beets is to get your music collection right once and for all.
It catalogs your collection, automatically improving its metadata as it goes.
It then provides a bouquet of tools for manipulating and accessing your music.

Here's an example of beets' brainy tag corrector doing its thing::

  $ beet import ~/music/ladytron
  Tagging: Ladytron - Witching Hour
  (Similarity: 98.4%)
   * Last One Standing -> The Last One Standing
   * Beauty -> Beauty*2
   * White Light Generation -> Whitelightgenerator
   * All the Way -> All the Way...

Because beets is designed as a library, it can do almost anything you can
imagine for your music collection. Via `plugins`_, beets becomes a panacea:

- Embed and extract album art from files' metadata.
- Listen to your library with a music player that speaks the `MPD`_ protocol
  and works with a staggering variety of interfaces.
- Fetch lyrics for all your songs from databases on the Web.
- Manage your `MusicBrainz music collection`_.
- Analyze music files' metadata from the command line.
- Clean up crufty tags left behind by other, less-awesome tools.
- Browse your music library graphically through a Web browser and play it in any
  browser that supports `HTML5 Audio`_.

If beets doesn't do what you want yet, `writing your own plugin`_ is
shockingly simple if you know a little Python.
