RE: New showAllDiscs option
From purely a disc numbering perspective, whilst I do keep the disc number metadata it's primarily so I can perform album lookups and verification steps (using CUETools), I don't think it's important to display, it's just a limitation of the media being used; if the media was bigger or you weren't using physical media you wouldn't have multiple discs.

The way I get MinimServer to do things my way (without resorting to adding things to the album tag or the folder name) is to create a custom tag that defines what I want treated as an album, and alias that in MinimServer to album (using .displayFormat to turn it back into what I want displayed). Depending on the logic behind what you're trying to achieve and the tool you use it could be as simple as creating a function e.g. I have a function that calculates the hash of the tags (boxtitle||album||release) or (""||"Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"||"Super Deluxe Edition") vs ("The Beatles In Mono"||"Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"||"") primarily to prevent merging across folders.
