Bug Description
For example, I have one album that comes in two discs. The album is contained in a folder which has two subfolders which contain the music files for the two discs. The top folder for this album doesn't show up as a music folder (no CD icon) and I can't drag-drop it to the playlist. I propose that it should be marked with the CD icon and drag-dropping it should all files in the folder or any of it's subfolders to the playlist, and in the correct order (ordered by subfolder name and then by filename).
Generally, my Music folder, which contains all my music in many subfolders, should have a CD icon on it and I should be able to drag it to the playlist and add all my music if I want to.

The problem is to decide when a directory is "playable". Currently, it is playable when it contains at least one file (music file, playlist) that can be played.
If we consider your example, how can DAP know that your top-level directory (the one that contains the two subfolders) is playable? To determine that, the file analysis would have to go one level deeper, and the time needed to do that can be huge (it evolves with the square of the depth). And why should we stop at depth 2? IMHO DAP cannot analyze recursively all your disk when you open a directory.
