I am wondering how best to set up album & set titles for multi-disc sets
in tags that will work nicely with LMS. 

I find it straight forward and logical to handle this by folder path in
my file system - I have a bottom-level folder per disc and give it a
parent folders if it is part of a multidisc set.  For example:

Eagles\[1975] One of these nights\
Eagles\The Studio Albums 1972-1979\[1972] Eagles\
Eagles\The Studio Albums 1972-1979\[1973] Desperado\
Eagles\The Studio Albums 1972-1979\[1974] On the border\[1974] On the
border CD1-2\
Eagles\The Studio Albums 1972-1979\[1974] On the border\[1974] On the
border CD2-2\
Eagles\The Studio Albums 1972-1979\[1975] One of these nights\

... etc. In this example I have shown two copies of One of these nights,
one in the box-set, one acquired separately.  I've fictitiously made "On
the border" a double CD to illustrate how I handle it, i.e. each disk
gets two parent folders.   flac files are  only ever contained the
bottom folder of each path.  


I am, however, stuck as how to do it with tags as there is no
hierarchical system for handling album titles, just the "Album" tag, as
far as I know.  I could use this "Album" tag thus:

"The Studio Albums 1972-1979: [1973] Desperado"

... but this is a bit ungainly when browsing LMS.  

Ideally I would create and use a tag called "AlbumSetTitle" or somesuch
for the set title, e.g. "The Studio Albums 1972-1979", keeping the
"Album" tag for disc title, e.g. "[1973] Desperado".  However, although
I can create tags (in mp3tag), as far as I can see (and I have Googled
around a bit), LMS cannot use it for browsing/searching - do please
correct me if I am wrong!   

Any suggestion welcome, thank you.
