RE: I am new here and have some Question
See this section for a full description of how MinimServer handles multidisc albums.

In summary, there are a few options for telling MinimServer to split the album into separate discs.

1) You could use a tagging program to add DISCSUBTITLE tags to the tracks in this album. If there are any DISCSUBTITLE tags in the album, it will be split. This means you could just add DISCSUBTITLE=Disc 1 to the first track and this would be sufficient to split the album and enable you to see the alternative layout that MinimServer produces when splitting an album into separate discs.

2) If you don't want to change the tags in your files, you could have a separate folder for each album disc and use [disc 1] and [disc 2] as a suffix to the folder names. For example, the folders could be named Yeti [disc 1] and Yeti [disc 2] or you could have any other names that end with [disc 1] and [disc 2]. You should leave the ALBUM tags as they are (Yeti with no suffix).

3) If you don'tr want to change your folder structure, you could use a tag update file (see this section) to add DISCSUBTITLE tags to the albums that you want to split into discs. For the Yeti album, this file would contain these lines:

@ALBUM=Yeti
&DISCNUMBER=1
+DISCSUBTITLE=Disc 1

You would need to repeat this for all albums that you want to split in this way.

In the future, I am planning to add an option to force this splitting for all albums in the library with no need to do 1), 2) or 3). This option is not yet available and it is likely to be available only in MinimServer 2.
