Groups and multidisc albums

[simoncn]

Groups are a structural containment concept and Compositions (or Works) are part of metadata.

The containment structure used by MinimServer is

Album > Disc > Group > Track

Because of this, a group cannot span discs. It would be possible for MinimServer to automatically split a group that spans discs into two groups, one for each disc. This seems lke the best option and this change is planned for a future version fo MinimServer.

Also, a group cannot contain non-consecutuve tracks because it would then need to contain all the other tracks between them. Again, it would be possible for MinimServer to automatically split the group into separate groups although this might result in a number of groups that contain only one track.

At present, MinimServer is producing an error mesage in both these cases and ignoring the GROUP tag. The tracks are still being read but are not shown as part of a group. There is no need to make any changes to your tagging.
