I rescanned my library recently (new and updated search only, I don't
like to completely rescan as it deletes the playlists). Now all albums
with disc number metadata are being identified as being a separate
album for every song.

For example:

$ ls
01 - Gamble Everything For Love.ogg
02 - Baby Blue.ogg
03 - Ten Days.ogg
04 - Cherry Blossom Girl.ogg
05 - Simple Things.ogg
06 - Black Cherry.ogg
07 - Teardrop.ogg

[etc: they are all in the same directory]

Here's the metadata on the first two files:

$ vorbiscomment 01\ -\ Gamble\ Everything\ For\ Love.ogg 
TITLE=Gamble Everything For Love
ARTIST=Ben Lee
ALBUM=Alternative Love Songs
DISCNUMBER=1
DATE=2005
TRACKNUMBER=01
TRACKTOTAL=18
GENRE=Alternative
MUSICBRAINZ_SORTNAME=Various
DISCID=f1112e12
MUSICBRAINZ_DISCID=ybPkTGvyUVCB9QZbZq92eS4Csvs-

$ vorbiscomment 02\ -\ Baby\ Blue.ogg 
TITLE=Baby Blue
ARTIST=Little Birdy
ALBUM=Alternative Love Songs
DISCNUMBER=1
DATE=2005
TRACKNUMBER=02
TRACKTOTAL=18
GENRE=Alternative
MUSICBRAINZ_SORTNAME=Various
DISCID=f1112e12
MUSICBRAINZ_DISCID=ybPkTGvyUVCB9QZbZq92eS4Csvs-

As best I can tell, these two files (and the others) should be regarded
by SlimServer as being in the same album since the files are in the same
directory and the ALBUM and DISCNUMBER values are identical. And before
a rescan, they were regarded as a single album. Now they aren't: they
and ALL other songs with a DISCNUMBER value are regarded as being one
song albums.

Is this a known problem and is there a fix or workaround?

My version is "SlimServer Version: 6.5.4 - 12568 - Debian - EN - utf8"
