Question & Feature request: Best method for browsing multi-disc albums
Hi there. First, a very good and happy new year "to each and everyone of us" (to stay in the Chrismas Carol spirit a bit longer :-) )

I have several albums that consist of multiple (physical) discs. I chose to store them all in one directory per album, rather than have subdirectories for discs. Minimserver by default shows all tracks for all discs as a continous list.
Example:
Album: Marillion - Afraid of Sunlight [Remaster 1999]
Disc 1: tracks 1 to 8
Disc 2: track 1 to 10
All tracks sit in one directory:
\Music\Marillion\Afraid of Sunlight\tracks.......
Minimserver shows this as follows:
1 (track 1 from disc 1)
2
3 ...
8 (last track from disc 1)
9 (track 1 from disc 2)
10
11... and so on

Of course I could have chosen to store tracks from individual discs in separate directories, but I didn't. Why not? Because I do not want to see two or more entries for every multi-disc albums

In the above example Minimserver shows individual entries for both discs. This happens both when I have the discnumber as part of the trackname, and when I store tracks in separate directories per disc.

Now for my request. What I would like is to be able to store multi-disc albums in one directory as I currently do, but have Minimserver show that it is a multi-disc album in a more elegant way. Wouldn't it be possible to have it shown like this (following up on the above example):
Minimserver displays: (disc 1]
1 (track 1 from disc 1)
2
3 ...
8 (last track from disc 1)
Minimserver displays (disc 2)
1 (track 1 from disc 2, in the current implementation shown as track 9)
.... and so on

I hope it is a little clear what I mean :-)

Wouldn't this make sense?
