I presume CDDB holds this information as well. The tag information is not on the physical CD but in the online database.

Actually I think I use freedb - sorry I'm a bit vague, but I set the system up ages ago and the details are a bit hazy. I don't capture the DISCNUMBER but make my own mind up. The track data is really quite inconsistent with naming conventions etc, so I've never seen it as especially reliable - it just save a hell of a lot of typing of track names. For Bach I don't even really use that: I index into a copy of the BWV catalogue in order to keep things as consistent as possible.
