Problem with multidisc album with disc subtitle

[paultaylor]

Hi Simon

I wanted MinimServer to display a 2 disc album with disc markers (each album is in a separate folder), it correctly recognises the two folders constitute one album but although they have the DISCNUMBER field set the ALBUM field itself doesn't have a (disc n) so they display as a single album but without the disc markers.

Since I would like it to display with the disc marker so I used the SongKong option to 'Always add Disc no to release titles' for Multi Disc releases. The trouble is these particular discs also have a subtitle and in such a case SongKong also adds the subtitle so we end up with AlbumName (disc N subtitle) and MinimServer doesn't understand this format and now treats the two folders as separate albums.

I could perhaps change Songkong to not add subtitle when add disc, but generally people like to see the subtitle as well as the disc no. Is there a way I could subtley amend it, or a way to configure MinimServer so it could be looser in checking such as just searching for (disc N rather than (disc N). Alternatively it would be nice if I could just configure MInimServer to always display with disc markers if DISCNUMBER set without needing (disc n) in the album title.

Also I noted that DISCSUBTITLE is not mapped to a field for ID3v23, a number of applications such as Picard and Songkong just use TSST for ID3v23 as well, I realize its not an official standard but perhaps it could be added since it is widely used and would give MinimServer access to this value.
