Thanks for posting these screenshots. I edited your post to remove the extra copies of the zip file.

MinimServer is handling this album correctly. Because disc 2 is tagged with a different album name than disc 1, MinimServer treats it as a separate multidisc album that contains only disc 2. You have two options:

1) If you want to see all the tracks merged into a single album, you can change the Album tag for the tracks in disc 2 from 'God & Guns [Special Edition]' to 'God & Guns'. This will show a screen like photo 4 containing all the tracks from both discs.

2) If you want to see each disc as a separate album underneath the artist Lynyrd Skynyrd, you can remove the DISCNUMBER=2 tags from the tracks in disc 2. This will show a screen like photo 4 for each of the discs.

The strange display you are currently seeing for disc 2 (in photo 3) is caused by n-Stream. On most other control points, this would look like photo 4 with an extra line '>> Disc 2' before track 1.

Thank you very much, I'll do 2). But if I understand correctly my Naim dealer says his two disc albums display like 2), not sure but don't believe he is using MinimServer or doing any tag editing.
