Discsubtitle groupings
For me MinimServer already exceeds my expectations by some margin, so please take this request/suggestion as it is intended - the cherry on top ;-)

Quite often you'll have special album releases that contain extra content, and that content will be contained on an additional disc and have a disc subtitle. In such a case MinimServer would show:

Code:
Rumours (Expanded Edition)
--------------------------
  Disc 1
  Live, 1977 "Rumours" World Tour
  More From The Recording Sessions

To me the 'Disc 1' is visually jarring, so I add the name of the album (without the release info) to the first disc so in the control point it looks like:

Code:
Rumours (Expanded Edition)
--------------------------
  Rumours
  Live, 1977 "Rumours" World Tour
  More From The Recording Sessions

Which looks and works well, however, I've just ripped a few albums where the disc subtitle is on the third disc, and so the presentation looks like:

Code:
Brit Awards 2015
----------------
  Brit Awards 2015 (Disc 1 by default)
  1..21
  Brit Awards 2015 (Disc 2 by default)
  1..22
  Previous Brit Winners
  1..20

Not only does this look a little messy (at least to me), but if I wanted to play everything apart from the bonus content (something I do probably every time apart from the very first time) I'd have to firstly clear the existing queue, then enqueue both discs, and finally head to the playlist and play from the beginning.

Would it be possible that if you saw consecutive discs with the same disc subtitle, you group those discs together, to produce something like:

Code:
Brit Awards 2015
----------------
  Brit Awards 2015
  1..43
  Previous Brit Winners
  1..20

As always, thanks for the product, the support and the consideration.
