The problem is that when the tag view hierarchy is brought in, this exposes all the intelligent browsing paths and this results in a combinatorial explosion of duplicates accessed via different paths.

Yes, that's what I thought before I tried to implement it.

For example, if the disc is sent to the control point as a UPnP musicAlbum container, the control point will show it within the album set as if it were an album named ">> Disc 2" (with album art), which looks completely wrong. If you click on ">> Disc 2", you'll get something that looks like an album (but isn't) and its title will be shown as ">> Disc 2". Also, the tracks within this container will have an XML album value of the top-level album set, which doesn't match their UPnP album container (the disc).

If the disc is sent to the control point as an item list UPnP generic container instead, the tracks within it won't be grouped nicely, won't be sorted correctly and won't be displayed with track numbers.
