Problems with multi-disc sets
Hi,

I have a couple of problems with how multi-disc sets are showing up on my Minim Server and was hoping for some help.

To clarify, I use Metadatics for all my music files. For multi-disc sets, I always use the disc number option (e.g. 1 of 2, 2 of 2, etc). I don't change the album name for each disc as I don't like that, instead I insert the disc number followed by the track number on each file, so they look like this:

1-01
1-02
1-03
2-01
2-02
and so on.

The first few discs I set up on Minimserver show up as below. I've used Ray Charles' Greatest Hits as an example. After I select the album, it shows up as follows:

>>1
What's I Say
Georgia On My Mind
(etc)
>>2
Busted
Without Love

Unlike single disc albums, each track appears separately (without a track number) and if I select one, it only plays that track. To play the whole disc, I have to select either '>>1' or '>>2' and then press the album title again followed by another screen. It works but it seems like a lot of screens to get to where I want.

I've just added a new multi-disc set and without changing any of the settings, it shows up differently. I've checked the metadata and there are no differences to the other albums I've added. Now when I select the album (Decade by Neil Young) the screen looks like this:

01 >>1
02 Down To The Wire
03 Burned
(etc)
17 Helpless
18 >>2
19 Ohio
20 Soldier

Whichever track I select, it loads up all 35 tracks. However, when I select '01 >>1' it starts with the track 'Down To The Wire', when I select '17 Helpless' it starts with 'Ohio'. All very strange.

What I'd like to see is the following. When I select the album, it loads up a screen with just '>>1' and '>>2'. Then I select the disc number and it then loads up a new screen which looks like any other album with all the track numbers. Any help to achieve this (or a suitable compromise) would be really appreciated! Thanks.
