This is a nice idea in theory, but releases on BEA are listed in an agnostic format regards the release media & only the track listing for the original release is displayed. A track listing could refer to a digital or a physical release (& could be on CD or vinyl), so it wouldn't really fit the site to do this at the moment (the release media is not stated and multiple versions of each release do not exist on the site).

I'd like to see this, but it could potentially be ambiguous which albums should be divided this way.

I'd love it if there was a way to indicate album sides, or which disk a track is on. Less relevant for more recent albums, but older albums (from the vinyl era) were structured in such a way as to balance the two sides, or have different unifying ideas on the two sides. The Beatles did this on a few of theirs, Abbey Road was structured so that side one was separate songs (John's idea) and side two was more unified (Paul's approach). Help! and Hard Day's Night had songs from the movie on side one, other songs on side two.

I could list other examples, (see this thread) but you get the idea.
