release
| as is
| + the disc/medium position, identifier
| - in the release editor, change the "disc" to "medium"
| - position of the medium in the order of the release (can be taken from disc number, if more than one on current release)
| - identifier: 1, one, bonus, etc. (free form, not the disc title)
| - disc number for medium is gone in database (not all releases have numbers).
| - Tagging/external apps may use the total number of mediums, mediums' positions and their identifiers
| to figure out the same disc number there is now. Also, the other attributes are available then.
|
- medium
| as is (position and identifier is explained above on release)
| this describes the physical medium or container
| + catalog number
| + has sides/sub-content (vinyl, cassette, dualdisc, dvdplus and vinyldisc formats would force sides)
| - if release has sides/sub-content, tracklist is disabled for that medium
| - tracklist modifications for medium same as explained below on side/content
|
- side/content
| this describes how the contents are on the physical medium
| - On a digital release (DVD/CD-data/downloads/etc.), it could be a folder or a partition.
| - Artist may not release a physical disc, but an image (that would be digital>CD content).
| - A collection DVD may have multiple folders of albums. Folder could also be CD-images.
| - On a CD there could be an enhanced part with extra tracks.
| - Digital formats could contain even more sub-content, so nesting may be need to be implemented.
| + dualdisc, dvdplus, vinyldisc should have a fixed format option limited by selection on parenting medium
| + title
| - this would have side name: side 1, side a, side one, other side
| - could be folder name on a DVD-data, or a mix-name on a DVD-Video/Audio (5.1, stereo, PCM, etc.)
|
- tracklist
| as is
| + tracknumbers will be removed and replaced by position and identifier
| - identifier is the number or other identifier scheme from cover/artist intent: 1, 2, I, IX, A, b). May be empty.
| - position is a digit, basically the current tracknumber, used for ordering purposes
| - position comes from the play order, even if the medium doesn't list tracknumbers.
| - some digital releases may not even have position/play order, just a bunch of files.
| - these would not have position numbers, and likely no identifiers, just titles.
| - Tagging/external apps would get the position and the identifier and could present tracknumbers as wanted.
|
- track
as is
+ may be assossiated with more than one recording
- digital media releases may have more than one audiotrack for a track (stereo/surround/commentary/language)
Deprecates:

Track support for multiple recordings.
- digital media releases may have tracks/chapters that contain multiple audio tracks (language/channels/etc)
With these changes, it would be possible to show the release layout more properly. There would be no forced numbering scheme, just presenting the actual data on the release. Total number of all the content is available separately. With all this additional data, users/taggers/etc could present the data however they wanted.
