I'm about to embark on re-ripping my CD collection, and want to do my best to 
"get it right" from the outset so that I don't have to go back and do it all 
(yet) again.

One of the issues I'm facing now is with multi-disc sets.  I'd prefer not to 
embed disc numbers and the like into the ALBUM tag, so I plan on using 
SlimServer's support for the SET tag, which I believe is mapped to the 
DISCNUMBER tag for FLAC files.  Simply putting the disc number  into the 
DISCNUMBER tag for my FLAC files solves half the problem for me.  The other 
half of the problem is where to store the name of the disc for multi-disc 
sets that have individually named discs.  For example, Smashing Pumpkins 
"Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness" consists of two discs:

    1) Dawn to Dusk
    2) Twilight to Starlight

I know that some players support a DISCNAME tag where this information could 
be stored.  Does SlimServer have anything analogous that I could use?  If 
not, would it be possible to add support for this tag?

Here is how I would like the tagging to work:

ALBUM=Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
DISCNUMBER=1
DISCNAME=Dawn to Dusk
ALBUM=Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
DISCNUMBER=2
DISCNAME=Twilight to Starlight

Ideally, this would show up on the SqueezeBox "Now Playing" list something 
like this:

    Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness (Disc 1: Dawn to Dusk)

Any thoughts?

Thanks
