How would I prefix disc number to tracks?

the merging of discs into a consecutive sequence is often undesirable for me with albums such as DJ mixes. I would prefer "1-01" for disc 1 and "2-01..." for disc 2 etc.

Is this possible?

Thanks.

Personally I use two different tagging approaches for multi-disc albums, depending on what they are:
* Simple compilations - just tag them with disc and track number (making sure to restart the track numbering at 1 for each disc) and let Minim merge them into a single album where the track numbers in disc 2 automatically continue from the end of disc 1.

* DJ Mixes or something where individual discs have some meaning: Either append "(Disc 1)", etc. to the end of the album title, or use DISCSUBTITLE if the different discs have a title, e.g. different DJs on each. Minim still merges the discs but does NOT continue the track numbering on disc 2,etc. Also when browsing the album you see the disc number or title prior to the tracks and you can drill down on a particular disc to see just the tracks for that disc and add them to your play queue in 1 click (depending on control point).

See Albums and Folders in the MinimServer user guide

Good info, thanks.
