Yes, your player has to be capable of using RG tags. LMS and Squeezebox

I have had albums separate in LMS because some tracks had a disk number

1. In dbpa ripping, I make sure album title is the same for all discs,
and use the disc numbering tag (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.). I do not use the
disc total tag (there is a setting in dbpa to not use this).

definition of a comp includes a greatest hits approach even if single
