as is often the case, you look at users from the POV of how they SHOULD
be, esp to work with how SBS is now; whereas i look at users as how they
come to SBS, and what, if anything, can SBS do to work better with them
as is.

there's nothing wrong with either approach in an academic sense, and
certainly there are times the user must change b/c it isn't reasonable
to ask the app to; but the trend certainly seems to be that logitech is
attempting to dummyproof its software as much as possible and wants to
work with what it finds, within reason of course, as opposed to trying
to get users to do what it wishes they would do.

having said that...

like it or not, 1/1 is a reality.  many apps apply it, and yet don't do
so uniformly across a disc.  WMP for example (which i don't rip with but
have exp of) will set Disc=1/1 on files, but will often not assign it to
ALL files of a given album.  it is esp prone to this when updating files
tags ripped by other software, and given the tagging source it uses, i
am sure its not alone.

if users have a folder where some files are 1/1 and others blank, and
the album tags are the same, i think its a very safe assumption for SBS
to make that the blank Disc tag files are in fact part of the 1/1 files.
as aubuti noted, 1/1 implies there are no other discs.  any download
that may come with a 1/1 disc should not be put into the same folder and
share the same album name, UNLESS the user wants the file to be
considered part of that album to begin with.  (why else would they do
so, since it'd be done deliberately as a DL?)

anyway, i find it kind of amusing you "don't like special cases" but
have no problem with SBS having a special case category name that
conflicts with tons of mainstream apps and tagging sources and makes
such tagged music missing from SBS view.  not trying to open that can of
worms, but had to mention it.
