Multi disc albums
I am running minimserver on a QNAP NAS and HEOS app and HiFi Cast as control points.
I have several multi disc albums. I tag these with track numbers 1 - n on Disc 1, 1 - n on Disc 2 ... and tag the discnumbers 1, 2... When viewing the tracks on these albums they appear correctly i.e. 1 - n (Disc 1), 1 - n (Disc 2). Yesterday I accidentally had a few tracks on a multidisc album where the disc number tag was blank and the other tracks were tagged correctly. When viewing the album tracks they were separated thus >>[no disc] track a track b >> Disc 1 track c track d etc >> Disc 2 track n track o etc This was ideal and allowed the playing of just Disc 1 or Disc 2. If I then correctly tagged the tracks with missing disc numbers the whole list then just appeared contiguously with no breaks between discs. This would be a very useful feature, is this just not working correctly or a strange bug? |

RE: Multi disc albums
If you want the display with ">> Disc n" dividers for a correctly tagged album, you can add one of these suffixes to the tagged album name of each of the discs:
[Disc n] (Disc n) , Disc n The album name will be shown without the suffix and you will get the display that you want. See this section for more information. |

RE: Multi disc albums
Thanks very much for your prompt reply Simon. I have tried this and it does exactly what I want. I had been hoping not to have to update tags as I have 2 identical copies of my music library, one on a NAS (accessed via minimserver) and the other on a Sony HAP-S1 (which isn't configurable as its an all-in-one unit with inbuilt hard disc and it's own server). The Sony shows multiple albums listed rather than 1 single album if I suffix album name with [Disc n].
Had been hoping that the 'feature' I had found would be able to work somehow on DISCNUMBER tag only without any incorrectly tagged tracks without the DISCNUMBER tag. Cheers |

RE: Multi disc albums
You can use the DISCSUBTITLE tag to avoid needing to change ALBUM tags. Set this to Disc 1 for the first disc, Disc 2 for the second disc, etc. To make this simpler, you only need to set it for the first disc and MinimServer will do the rest.

RE: Multi disc albums
Excellent Simon, that's doing exactly what I want without messing up titles elsewhere.
Thanks again. |
