I just got Richard Wagner's "The Golden Ring," which is arranged in four episodes:
Das Rheingold, Gotterdammerung, Sigfried, and Die Walkure.
Each is at least an hour long and contains 3-4 scenes/acts.
What I'm wondering is should I label each scene (for example)
Track: Scene 1
Album: Das Rheingold
or
Track: Scene 1 (Das Rheingold)
Album: THe Golden Ring
or
Track: Das Rheingold Scene 1
Album: The Golden Ring
or
something else?
How Would You Label This?

If they're audio files on your computer, then
the file name should be:
artist > album > track # > song title
The folder should be:
artist > date > album
So, for example,
file name:
Richard_Wagner-Das_Rheingold-01.mp3 (and an optional scene title after track, if you want)
folder name:
Richard_Wagner-0000-The_Golden_Ring-01-Das_Rheingold (extra info, since the date may be the same for each album, and to express that all four albums belong to one project, and then the number to express the order of the albums. The "0000" would be the recording date of the specific performance/recording that you bought.)
The folders should be in a folder, "Richard Wagner", and that folder should be in a folder that denotes the genre of his music, so "Classical", or what have you. In this way, files can be identified independently, which is important -- if you stumble across a file, "Scene 1 (Das Rheingold)", or worse, "Scene 1", how are you supposed to know what you're looking at? If it's not you who finds this file, and likes what he/she hears, how is he/she supposed to find more music by this artist? That's the logic. (Plus the order is super duper important -- date of album, track number -- otherwise they will not play in order.)

LoL, thanks, but I meant in iTunes. I don't know how to use a computer, so I have to use Apple programs on my PC.
