I happen to be a Ubuntu user and I had not noticed that sound-juicer 
actually does tagging with a "total number of tracks"-tag. Thanks for 
the info.. gained a little from this posting : )

I guess it is probably just me having a bad habbit of trying the delete 
key on an (for some reason) unwanted album hoping that it will disappear 
from the album list.  Instead I am forced to manually move it away from 
the directory structure that Muine overlooks and restart Muine. However, 
I do see the implications on the program changing on this.

One more question: Will there be a dialogue for changing the directory 
structure that Muine overlooks instead of having to mess with GConf? Not 
that it happens very often but it does happen. I guess this feature is 
required for Muine to be called mature.

Last not least, I think most people would be content with the flexible 
solution proposed by Peter Oliver. Good proposal! : )
