This where we disagree, when there is no disc subtitle the MinimServer approach is that Disc 1, Disc 2 ectera can be stored in this field. But my view is that this is not a discsubtitle and thereforenot using it for its standard purpose, if it was correct the I would just do the same.

As I understand it, you want a new tag to control whether or not the album is shown as multiple discs when there are no disc subtitles. I think it would be better to make this a user preference in the MinimServer configuration (for example, a showDiscs property or option) than for tagging programs to start writing a MINIMSERVER_DISCSUBTITLE tag.

My approach was to better support MinimServer in the same way that I write MinimServers GROUP field because there is no standard field that exactly matches the requirement of the MinimServer GROUP field. But your showDiscs property would work even better, so if you are considering doing this that would be a good solution.
