Yes, in fact as an interim measure I have created a set of text files
containing the tag data that I want the file to have, including
Album/Composition/Part.  And I have written a script to take the
information in those files, and process it into whatever tag format I'd
like.  So I can have the script apply the tags as:

ALBUM=Composition title
TITLE=Part title

or

ALBUM=Album title
TITLE=Composition title (Partnumber-Part title)

or however else I want to do it.  So if the COMPOSITION/PART
funtionality is eventually added, I won't have to go back and re-enter
all the information again in the new format.  I'll just adapt the
script to rewrite the tags.

I've noticed that Slimserver assumes that the ALBUM title is unique, so
it's possible to have name collisions for multiple albums with the same
ALBUM title.  You end up with one album in the database with all the
tracks from both.  To avoid it, you have to make the ALBUM tags
different in some way.  I suppose that someone could abuse the
DISCNUMBER tag to differentiate the two, but that just prevents
Slimserver from interleaving the tracks.  You still get both albums
combined into one, but at least the first plays all the way through
followed by the second, rather than alternating tracks.
