Double albums track numbering

[simoncn]

It sounds like your tagging program is storing CD (Part) in the ID3v2 TPOS frame. When MinimServer reads the file, it maps TPOS to DISCNUMBER.

MinimServer merges albums across folders if the tracks contain a DISCNUMBER value greater than 1. If this merging has taken place, MinimServer renumbers the tracks from all discs to be consecutive as you are seeing unless the showAllDiscs option of the serverOptions property is set to true. This means there are three possible cases:

1) DISCNUMBER is not set and showAllDiscs is not set. Each disc will be shown as a separate album in the list of albums and the original track numbers for each disc will be preserved.

2) DISCNUMBER is set and showAllDiscs is not set. The files from all discs will be merged into a single album in the list of albums and the tracks from all discs will be renumbered to be consecutive.

3) DISCNUMBER is set and showAllDiscs is set. The files from all discs will be merged into a single album in the list of albums and the tracks from all discs will not be renumbered but will show as sepearate discs.

You are currently seeing 2). To see 1) without retagging your files, you can set the aliasTags property to DiscNumber:nil. To see 3) without retagging your files, you can set the serverOptions property to showAllDiscs=true. Both these options require the full version of MinimServer.

Another option is to change the ALBUM tags for each disc to add a suffix of [disc 1], [disc 2], etc. For example, the discs for the album The Wall would be tagged as:
The Wall [disc 1]
The Wall [disc 2]

MinimServer would merge these into a single album The Wall in the list of albums and show each disc separately without renumbering the tracks. For more details of how this works, see this section. This approach doesn't require the full version of MinimServer.
