The file count's not so much of a problem unless you're running out of
file handles in windows, which is pretty unlikely. The total file size
would usually be under 100k, which is a pretty small overhead (~0.2%
or lower) compared to the actual media files.
So I guess I'm not sure I understand the issue - these files are only
per album, not per track. What is it that's actually worrying you ?
