Multi-disc album woes

[Veganfloyd]

Hi Simon,

I've read the section on Multidisc albums in the User Guide and several related threads, and unfortunately I'm finding the issue cryptic beyond my understanding.

My multi-disc albums are tagged using the same album name and integers in the disc number tag. Tracks are numbered consecutively throughout such entire albums; i.e. without re-starting at 1 in each disc. Some single disc albums have 1 in the disc number tag, and some have this field missing.

I don't want to rename albums by adding the [disc <n>] suffix. I appreciate that it may be the recommended and most robust option, but I don't like the idea of spending time on finding and manually renaming the relevant albums when there is a specific disc number tag available, as well as having anything inserted in the album name beyond the actual original name. If I were to use the files outside of the minimserver environment, I'd end up with aesthetically undesirable album names.

What I want is to:
- have multi-disc albums separated by disc
- preferably retain the possibility of having the entire album added to queue in one operation
- have single-disc albums displayed without any disc number information (in reference to having a mix of blanks and 1 values)

You posted here a solution which seems to be along these lines, but is not quite working for me: https://forum.minimserver.com/showthread.php?tid=3659

"1) In the itemTags property, add: DiscNumber
2) In the tagValue property, add: DiscSubtitle.default={DiscNumber}"

This gives me additional lines of >><n> in the track list. However, pressing play at >>2 makes the album start playing from the first song in Disc 1, rather than Disc 2. Also, I'd like to change the double greater-than sign with something else, e.g. "Disc ". How can these issues be amended?
