I was going to post on exactly this theme and see what people do. I'm with the OP normally. I have a lot of double CDs where the split between CDs is irrelevant and I tend to think "I'll play track 9" rather than "I'll play the second disk". However, things like Kate Bush's Aeriel seem to be two thematic pieces (disc 2 opens with a prelude, for example). I've treated it as two seperate albums. Similarly the best of Tommy Emmanuel which has an electric and an acoustic disk. Two seperate albums on my system.
The whole disc-number ripping seems to be a bit of a mix up anyway. Most of the albums I have were themed as two seperate sides of vinyl. I still sometimes feel in the mood to play the second side of an album, or side 3 of Songs in the Key of Life, for example. I think artists generally stopped looking at the running order of their albums in terms of sides around 1990. To me, it makes no sense to think of The White Album as two discs. It's definitely four sides. And Abbey Road isn't one disc. It's two sides. I'm not anal enough to use discnumber to seperate all my albums into sides though...
