For example all these audio files below belong to CD 1. At the moment the file name does not tell you that. I am going to rename so that when you look at the file name it will tell you what disc it belongs to.

01 Track 1.wma
02 Track 2.wma
03 Track 3.wma 
04 Track 4.wma

1 Track 2.wma
1 Track 3.wma 
1 Track 4.wma
