Thanks for that, all makes sense now! I was getting confused with the
folder structure.

A fun time ahead retagging all my multiple albums now. lol

You should use a common format and it's stored in a special tag.
It depends on the format you are using for your music, please look at
the following link at the "Disc Number" row:
http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?SlimServerSupportedTags

It is important that the album title is exactly the same on all discs.

So if you have an album with two discs they can be tagged as:

Disc 1
==
ALBUM=My nice album
DISC=1

Disc 2
==
ALBUM=My nice album
DISC=2

It won't work if the album title contains something like "(disc 1)" at
the end since SlimServer then don't know that this is the same album.
