Going back to the disc related tag mappings.

'DISCNUMBER' => 'DISC',
'DISCTOTAL' => 'DISCC',
'DISC #' => 'DISC',
'TOTALDISCS' => 'DISCC',

ALBUM ARTIST 

I used dBpowerAmp to tag all my FLAC files and all my tracks have the
DISCNUMBER = 1/x tag turned on. I'm assuming that this translates to
DISC = 1/x in SqueezeCenter. With the latest CD's I have ripped using
the latest version of dBpowerAmp 13.1 Reference I found that sometimes
CDs with tags DISCNUMBER = 1/1... now show CD 1 at end of Album name as
they display in my SB3. As far as I can tell earlier rips with the same
DISCNUMBER = 1/1 do not show this.  What I find to be a bit of an issue
is that the Format setting for the player is TRACKNUM. TITLE
(TRACSTATRATINGDYNAMIC) not TRACKNUM. TITLE DISC
(TRACSTATRATINGDYNAMIC). Does the TITLE encompass the DISC tag? I store
my multiple CDs Albmum in separated folder with the - CDx at the end of
the name of the folder. This allows me to find tracks faster when I
navigate my folder structure looking for a track. Sometimes I use an
old portable player that uses folder navigation only. I transcode a
subset of my FLAC library to use in a few portable DAPs. 

So, a multiple CD Album looks like this in my library folder.

Artist Name (Top Folder)
Album Name 1 (Subfolder)
Album Name 2 (subfolder)
Album Name 3 - CD1 (subfolder)
Album Name 3 - CD2 (Sufolder)

With the format for the player as mentioned above the SB3 would display
the 1. Trackname - Artist Name - Album Name 3 - CD1 (Disc 1 of 2). I
want to suppress the (Disc 1 of 2) at the end. Album Name 3 is a
compilation under the same artist, so the compilation tag is also
turned on.

In regards to 'ALBUM ARTIST' => 'ALBUMARTIST' I'd like the ability to
also map this tag to ARTIST because I use this tag in dBpowerAmp to
name the folders after the artists names. This way I can have a single
folder for an artist with regular albums and compilation albums where
they are the main draw. Again, this facilitates folder navigation and
keeping the ARTIST tag true to the artist that plays in a track within
the compilation. This allows me to also find tracks under the artist in
the compilation album using tags... not folders.

I don't know if what I said above or my scheme makes sense... But all I
want to do is supress the (Disc x of x) from displaying. I don't want to
remove the DISCNUMBER tag from my library because I use it with other
programs when I search using tags description. My portable DAP has an
option to supresses the DISC tag from displaying in its LCD screen. I
want the same thing for my SB3.
