That's why my feature request included the menu option to jump to the

estimate that about 90% of multi disc sets are "as one".

TPOS is absolutely a standard tag -- it's DISC that isn't (at least for ID3). See http://www.id3.org/ for more info on these.Ben

Very simple problem Takashi...
My albums are named as in Example 2:-
2 CDs both named Buddha Bar IV, with Disc# tag set to 1 or 2 as

And at the moment they play in the wrong order, track1 CD1, track1 CD2,
track2 CD1, track2 CD2 etc.

Frankly, the method I'm using works great for me.
I don't have to add CD #'s to the name field which wouldn't be

Those two work arounds certainly will work... But, I suppose, I am
looking for the perfect solution (!) If an album has the same name for

This would cure the problem for everybody
The way I do it is to use the actual filenames as the 'sorter'.
So taking a two disc CD set:
CD1 tracks 1 to 10 have filenames; '01-xx.flac','02-xx.flac' to
'10-xx.flac'
and CD2 tracks 1 to 10 have filenames;
'11-xx.flac','12-xx.flac',(...),'20-xx.flac'

Yes. I just number the songs in total...
So that if I had a two disc set with 10 tracks on each disc, the first
disc would have track numbers 1-10 and the second disc would have track
numbers for 11-20.
Has anyone mananged to get multi discs to list & play in the correct

Yes, that is precise
DISC and DISCC are what SlimServer recognizes currently.
DISC is the number of the DISC in a collection.
DISCC is the total number of discs in that collection.
If you have both of those, and ALBUM is the same on all the tracks,
