How to organize and tag classical music

[Pastim]

I have several problems just copying Work to Group, not least that I have several Albums with more than one recording of the same Work. However, I'll be able to sort these out in due course.

Some other issues are a little trickier to resolve. I have some albums that are large collections, with items replicated elsewhere. Sometimes I have kept the stand-alone version and omitted the copy in the collection. I have, however, kept the disc and track numbers as they were, so that when I read the booklet it matches the disc and track numbers of the items still in the collection. All is OK so far, and I still have just one Album when browsing, with missing tracks & discs.

However, some works (and hence groups) span discs. This seems to fall foul of the rule regarding the Disc numbers being visible. When disc numbers are missing, minimserver seems to add Disc numbers to the display for the CP. I don't particularly want this, and don't get it on other albums, but that's what is displayed.

So the error in the log is:

Code:

Error: group spans multiple discs: Vespro Della Beata Vergine in album John Eliot Gardiner - The John Eliot Gardiner Collection

This work, and group, is consecutive, across 2 discs, but because minimserver wants to display the Disc numbers, it breaks the multi-disc rule.

Is there some way round this conundrum?
