If you have things labelled with TPOS, the same album title, and the
same tracks as on CD, then it will play them in order.  Think of
TPOS/DISCNUMBER as being a sort of 'shift': if it's there it makes it
sort further down the list.  So D1/T1 will be followed by D1/T2, T3,
T4, until D2/T1.

(Ie, the Wall will play all of the first disc and then all of the
second.)

That's assuming the "group multialbums" is set.

The other way, just label all the tracks together making a huge virtual
album (one with more music than can fit on a single CD, but labelled as
if it was one giant CD) works.  It's just that you don't have the "this
track is the third track on the second disc" in the tags.  Whether
that's useful information or not is another question. :)

The default tags from Musicbrainz (or freedb for that matter) would put
the album as "The Wall (disc 1)" and "The Wall (disc 2)" which makes it
sound like they are different albums...  Which is why I retag them. 
But, then so do you, we just do it differently for the same effect.

Neither way is better: an album isn't necessarily tied to a physical
CD.  That breaks on those CD's where they put two short albums on the
same CD.  I'm still uncertain whether I should split up Adrian Belew's
first two albums... they were seperate on vinyl, but one CD.  My
musicbrainz addiction says to match them.. but in this case, I don't
think that's correct.  They weren't even recorded at the same time...

Am I documenting the CD or the music?  Much of the time, that's the
same thing, but sometimes it's not...
