Problem with multi-disc albums on Naim app

[DavidHB]

I don't use the Naim app (or an iPad) either, but plenty of other MinimServer users do, and I would have thought that, if there were a fundamental problem with the interaction between the two, we would know about it on this forum by now (unless the problem is very new). What makes the issue more surprising is that Lightning DS does not show the wrong information. Or maybe it does.

The first thing to check (unless you have done so already) is that your album tagging follows the guidelines in the Multi-disc albums section of this User Guide page. If these are followed, I would be surprised to see 'Disc n' appear as part of the Album title in the Control Point (as it does in Lightning). What happens on my control points is that, where '(Disc n)' or '[Disc n]' is appended to the Album name, it does nor appear in the title, but lower down the list, as a separate 'container' or sub-title. Also, the contents of all the discs appear in the same list, which does not appear to be the case with the Lightning screenshot you showed.

I suggest that you use a single multi-disc album as a test case. Following the User Guide carefully (and remembering that it is all too easy to get this kind of thing wrong - we all do it), check the album naming in MP3Tag, or another tagging program. As well as the requirements for multi-disc albums, you need to check that the ALBUM and ALBUMARTIST tags for each track allow it to be merged into the album, as described in the Albums and Folders section of this page of the User Guide. Also check that the DISCNUMBER tags are correct for each track. If you make changes, do a MinimServer rescan (and check the log for errors). Then see if the display changes in your control points. If there is still an issue, come back and give details of the album tags you have used in a further post.
