Problem with Multidisc Albums

This isn't correct. The suffix ', Disc n' in an album name is interpreted specially by MinimServer and doesn't prevent album merging.

This is not an unnecessary diversion. The use of different artist names without an album artist is currently preventing the discs from being merged into a single album.

Quote:if we assume for a moment that all tracks on all four discs have the same album artist is it possible to subdivide album by disc. i.e If has the DiscNo field or DiscSubTitle field set correctly can MinimServer be configured so that opening an album then shows four discs instead of immediately the list of songs ?

At present, opening a multidisc album always shows a list of songs with disc dividers. There might be an option to change this in the future.
