Retrospective (Disc1)
Retrospective (Disc2)

This will set the album name to 'Retrospective' and will apply a DISCNUMBER value of 1 to the tracks on the first disc and a DISCNUMBER value of 2 to the tracks on the second disc.

If you want the album discs to be shown as separate albums in the albums list, you should tag without the parentheses:

Retrospective Disc1
Retrospective Disc2

This will set the album names to 'Retrospective Disc1' and 'Retrospective Disc2' and will not apply DISCNUMBER values to the tracks.

Hi Simon and thanks for your reply, but... i did as you said,(this is how i had it before) in every track i have taged the album title with dbpoweramp as Retrospective (Disc1) for disc1 and Retrospective (Disc2) for the Disc2 but still when i play the tracks on the bubbleUnPn displays as Retrospective withhout the disc numbers but... if i disable the parentheses and tag them as Retrospective Disc1 e.g. Retrospective Disc2 then they display as is on the control point "Retrospective Disc1" e.g. "Retrospective Disc2". Let me xplain it better for you, on my hard drive i have this album as "\\SYNOLOGY\Disk 3_Music\Music\FLAC\Standard_Tracks\Bread - Retrospective" and under this folder i have 2 subfolders which each one of them contains the tracks of this album "Disc1" and "Disc2"
I can an attachment of the tags so you can see with parentheses and without parentheses.
Is there any command i should add in the minimserver properties so that the parentheses can be displayed on the control point? And if so whats the command ?

Thanks regards
Meffy

I think that if you append (disc n) to an album tag, MinimServer will not show this suffix and will not provide a separate album wor each single disc, like Simon decribed above. Instead, MinimServer will merge all discs into a single multidisc view. For more information, please see this section and this section in the user guide.

As a side note, with MinimServer there is no need for manually tagging multidisc albums with (disc n) in the album tag. Given that you have correct DISCNUMBER and DISCSUBTITLE tags, MinimServer will smartly provide correct multidisc album views to the control point.
