Description
So I've got a pretty solid collection, many different albums collected. Some original, some re-releases some reprints, compilations, best of's,...
I already separate my compilations and live albums from my artist folder, which is neat, but I'm still missing a way to figure out how to keep my artist folders clean of **all** non original releases.
Is there a way to do this, so all the folders show the original releases in root of Albumartist folder?
How it looks now:
Albumartist$\Year$ - Album\track$. - Title
Albumartist$\Single\Year$ Album\track$ - Title
Albumartist$\Live\Year$ Album\track$ - Title
Compilation\Release\track$ - Title
What I'm looking for
Albumartist$\Year$ - Album(Only original release)\track$. - Title
**Albumartist$\Re-releases\Album\track$. - Title**
Albumartist$\Single\Year$ Album\track$ - Title
Albumartist$\Live\Year$ Album\track$ - Title
Compilation\Release\track$ - Title

Research direction
Use the example layouts in the issue as acceptance criteria. First locate beets’ existing path configuration and the release metadata it exposes, then determine how original releases can be distinguished from re-releases. Done means original releases remain in the artist root while re-releases are placed under a separate Re-releases directory without changing the existing single, live, and compilation layouts.
