Hi Nick,
You're right (philosophical issues aside) - as I understand it this is
supposed to split multi-disc albums into, well, multiple discs. Using
6.2, I don't get this behaviour, but I do get tracks playing in the
right order. I.e., I get one album, and if I browse into it I get
disc 1's tracks in order followed by disc 2's tracks in order. Adding
the album to the playlist gets the correct results.
>From what I've read, it's *supposed* to create two album entries, for
example if I browse by artist I currently get:
David Bowie
Best Of Bowie (2002)
Disc 1 tracks 1..19 followed by Disc 2 tracks 1..20
It *should* give, I think:
David Bowie
Best Of Bowie (2002) (Disc 1 of 2)
Disc 1 tracks 1..19
Best Of Bowie (2002) (Disc 2 of 2)
Disc 2 tracks 1..20
To try to get this to work correctly, I added every tag under the sun. I.e.:
DISC, PARTINSET, DISCNUMBER - all set to the disc number
DISCC - set to the number of discs in the set (also tried taking this out)
I also tried both settings for the "Group Discs" behaviour setting,
with complete wipe/rescan each time. Currently it's on "treat
multi-disc sets as multiple albums", and I get the behaviour that I
describe above, which is perhaps what you are looking for.
I'm guessing it's a bug, and I haven't tried a nightly in the last
couple of weeks, so it's always possible it's fixed - I'm planning on
updating shortly.
Cheers
Geoff
PS: Philosophically, I WANT to identify my discs separately; I'm used
to hearing them separately, and sometimes I just want to hear disc 2
of Dylan's 'Masterpieces', dammit. It's completely different to disc
1.
