Ya, I totally agree on an (optional or maybe not optional) M part -- it's
incredibly is helpful for sets with the same number that also came out in
the same year -- for example 1974 Star Quest, 1974 Smuggler's Hayride, and
1974 Flyer Cracker U.S.A. -- all came out in 1989 in a single value pack
also numbered 1974.
LUGNET's sets DB at <http://guide.lugnet.com/set/> basically does something
similar to the M thing, where it optionally puts a "_1" or "_2" after the
set number. It's not pretty but it works out OK.

Seems kinda redundant to have in the filename on every file...

| Ok, let me ask this then, do programs such as Ldlite, MLCad, etc accept ,mpd files and automatically split them or is there still the need to split the .mpd manually?
