Separate Album Releases Seen as One Album
Hello, there.

I've recently started using MinimServer and am having an issue I just can't seem to figure out. For several artists, I have multiple releases of the same album and while MinimServer correctly reads the majority of them as separate releases, there are some that - even with all input settings removed - MinimServer thinks are one album. The pattern by which this behavior occurs seems to be when the album has multiple discs. For example, I have three releases of Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" and both the directory hierarchy and tags for each delineate between each album's separate discs.

Code:
..\Marvin Gaye - (1971) (2008) What's Going On  [US · Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab MFSL 1-314 · 12 Vinyl]
    ..\CD 01
    ..\CD 02

..\Marvin Gaye - (1971) (2009) What's Going On [JP · Motown Records UICY-94036~7 · SHM-CD]
    ..\CD 01
    ..\CD 02

The tracks are tagged in a manner that allows each release to be properly distinguished from another by MusicBee... and (along with the differing directories) should as well with MinimServer (by my assumption). All relevant tracks are FLAC and use Vorbis Comments. For instance, the latter album ORIGYEAR=1971 ORIGINALDATE=1971-05-20 DATE=2009-04-09 which should distinguish it from the former, which contains the tags ORIGYEAR=1971 ORIGINALDATE=1971-05-20 DATE=2008-02-01.

I'm using minimserver-0.8.5.2 and mergeFolderAlbums=false. When true is assigned to this setting, it collapses all the albums into one. If any more details are needed, I'm happy to provide them.

Thanks in advance!
