While I think I agree with this personally, why should using chained oggs as an
album management system be discouraged?

ie:

TheyMightBeGiants-All.ogg contains:
        Pink_Album.ogg contains:
                Everything_Right_Is_Wrong_Again.ogg
                ...
        Lincoln.ogg contains:
                Ana_Ng.ogg
                ...
        ...

Now, when TMBG puts out a new album, I rip and encode all the tracks, package
them up into a chained ogg, and chain that ogg onto my TMBG ogg chain (of
chained oggs).  This is why I previously asked about transporting Ogg over Ogg.

Again, I'm not sure this is a good idea.  Just curious as to why this kind of
thing should be discouraged.
