Multi-disc album woes

I don't know if the behaviour is different, but I can fully recommend BubbleUPnP if you haven't tried it already.

I was hoping for some sort of on-the-fly string operation making use of what I initially posted, i.e. adding DiscNumber to itemTags property and setting DiscSubtitle.default. Something along the lines of (made-up syntax) DiscSubtitle.default="CD0{DiscNumber}" to get CD01, CD02, etc.

You can set a default, but I don't believe that default can be a concatenation of a string and a tag, it's either or.

What you could use is tagUpdate

Something like:

Code:

@DISCNUMBER=1
+DISCSUBTITLE=CD01
@DISCNUMBER=2
+DISCSUBTITLE=CD02
...

If you have populated some DISCSUBTITLE tags, you'd need to change the name in the tagUpdate file to TMP_DISCSUBTITLE, then use DISCSUBTITLE.default={TMP_DISCSUBTITLE} (after adding TMP_DISCSUBTITLE to itemTags).

This will however apply them for everything in your collection (including single disc albums) so unless you have some way of identifying multi-disc albums (DISCTOTAL) there's no way to prevent this.
