You shouldn't need to use the DISC tag for single-disc sets, but it is
certainly worth setting DISC (and DISCC) for multi-disc sets. The
set-up that works for me in 6.5 is the one album per folder (in the
case of multi-disc sets, I have a folder for each disc, but set the
DISC or DISCNUMBER and DISCC tags). In additional, for all various
artist albums, I set COMPILATION=1 (I use mp3tag, but I seem to recall
from other posts that in the mp3tagger this is set to TRUE rather than
1, although I suspect the tag that is written is 1). Finally, in the
case of various artist albums that are nevertheless associated with a
single artists (e.g. FatBoy Slim, On the Floor at the Boutique which
has individual artists for each track, but I want it to appear in the
FatBoy Slim album list), I set the BAND tag to the album artist (I use
flac and for mp3 this is the TPE2 tag. I set the Band/Orchestra check
box on slimserver Server Settings > Behaviour and in the Compilations
Settings, I "Group Compilation Albums Together" and "List Albums By
Band" (I also treat "Multi-Disc Sets as a Single Album"). This all
works very nicely, although note that Artists that only appear on a
compilation album will not appear under Browse Artists, but I can
search for them.
