If it could be clever enough to append a Disc n on the first album that is only tagged n it would good - Asset for eg. only appends the Disc n for disc numbers greater than 1 in this case, so you get "Album", "Album, Disc 2", "Album, Disc 3" etc. A bit messy.

On the second - if it's only an option I see no harm, but if the separate discs are shown as an album cover rather than the >> "Disc subtitle" form it would be nicer.

Thanks for this feedback. MinimServer dosn't do anything different if the DISCNUMBER tag is n/N instead of n. Does Asset treat these differently?

The alternative view for the second option would show artwork for each disc and it would be possible for each disc to have different artwork.

I have Asset configured not to combine multi-disc albums but to show them as "Album, Disc x". But it only does that for disc 1 of an album if it's of the form 1/N, otherwise it assumes (probably) it's a single disc album and doesn't append the "Disc 1" to it.
I think this is what you were suggesting to add to Minim as an option so that the tagging and naming doesn't need to match one of those rules you mention to show them separately? In which case it would be neat if it could handle such cases better. In fact most of my albums are now tagged n/N for discnumber but this was not always the case (and I seem to remember there's even an option in dBPoweramp to strip out the "/N").

For the second option with the disc album art, that would be great. But could it also show the discsubtitle as the text rather than albumname? Otherwise each entry will look the same if the art's the same. Obviously they'd be in discnumber order but all the same...
Or is that control point dependent?
