In some cases a disc title is something specific. A good example may be where you have discs in paper sleeves, and the paper sleeve has both "disc 3" and "Symphony No. 2 Symphony No. 4" (possibly with "Op. 100" and "in G minor" This is stuff for DiscNumberStyle, and you could e.g. get "The Symphonies (Orchestra feat. conductor: John Doe) (disc 3: Nos. 2, 4)". (The contraction to "Nos. 2, 4", is IMO a useful overriding of what the label puts on the sleeve.) Now, in cases where the individual disc wrappers have only "CD 3" (or whatever), or where there is no wrappers, you can look on the discs themselves and/or on the back of the packaging for telltale signs of LabelIntent for disc titles. Personally I wouldn't mind seeing "CD 2: Symphonies Nos. 2, 4" be used more as input for disc titles, as this is useful info - especially when the symphonies of a set is not in sequence. But if it is not there, I don't think it should be invented. I suspect this to be a vague area > as all of my classical box set additions (without disc titles) were > accepted, so i wonder what are the thought on this. In the general case without cover scans, it is impossible for voters to know when a disc should have a disc title.
