I have no idea if this is a bug or not, but... I've recently come up with a new strategy for my multi-disc sets and so far it's been working great.
NOTE: Your needs may vary and I realize this is just one method with some notable benefits in light of my circumstances. Basically, in most cases I have no control over my file structure or filenames. Mch of my collection is comprised of live concerts and the checksums and bittorrent clients require a stable structure if you ever want to seed. Because of this, I've mostly given up thinking about directory structure and found it's very liberating. Also, I use Tag & Rename since it supports Flac and mp3, plus can grab tags and album art from Amazon. Here's what I do... + I tag the tracks in ascending order WITHOUT restarting for each disc! + Next, I apply the disc / disc num tags for the disks. + Then, for ripped CDs only, I use the file renaming tool to rename the files "<%tracknum%> - <%songname%>.<%ext%>" Now at this point, your files are tagged in such a way that good id3 browsing environment (like SS / SB) will let you use the collection as you like... listening to the enture "set" of discs, or listening to single discs, in correct track order. Also, assuming you do the file renaming step above, you don't really need subdirectories -- sorting the folder by filename will leave the set in the correct order. Of course, if knowing what disc of a set something is when browsing the music folder is important to you, by all means keep the subdirectories. Hope that makes sense and is somewhat helpful.
