That's ugly!

If I were to want a multi-disk set to be ripped and kept like the original 
media it was distributed on (like I said, sometimes I do), I would use disk 
number tags, I'd never embed the media number in the album name.

>seems to work well with ALL apps
That will work equally in all apps - poorly (in my opinion).  You can call an 
album whatever you like, or you could pretend an album is in fact two different 
albums and call each album whatever you like.  Because that's what you are 
doing - there's no link between "The Wall (disc 1)" and "The Wall (disc 2)" - 
they become two separate albums.

If you play random albums, it could select half of an album and not the other 
half.

Your stats will also be incorrect, because "The Wall" would then be counted as 
two albums.

>seemingly how gracenote (and even freedb) does it too
Most tag info comes from users; Gracenote and freedb are DB's that aggregate 
submissions from users, and users have different ideas on tagging.

dbPowerAmp seemingly gets disk number tags, so they use sources where disk 
numbers can be entered and retrieved, but sometimes multi-disk albums are 
submitted as one album, sometimes with disc numbers, and sometimes with with 
disk numbers in the album title.  There's no consistency.
