I already use the DiscNumber tag for its intended purpose. I assume that DiscSubTitle is a custom tag, as it doesn't appear by default in JRiver Media Center (the nearest similar tag name is Media Sub Type).

As previously mentioned, my custom tag called DiscType identifies every track ripped from an SACD as either CD, SS or SM, but that doesn't have the grouping capability of my Work tag. You therefore get all the variants listed together unless I give each variant a slightly different Album title.

As far as I can see, your suggestion to use a custom DiscSubTitle tag would suffer from the same problem as my DiscType tag if I used only one Album title for each SACD.
