Hi, I have a few albums that have multiple disc and I'm not figuring out a way to make them work intuitively with Moode 4.3
For example, I have a 2-disc album. When I was using foobar I would tag the track with the DISCNUMBER tag. So
Track 1, Disc 1: TRACK 1, DISCNUMBER 1
But if I use this scheme with Moode, it seems to disregard the DISCNUMBER field. Therefore the order in Moode is:
Track 1, Disc 1
Track 1, Disc 2
Track 2, Disc 1
...
I have tried setting the TRACK field to 1.01 and 1-01 but it does not help. I have to resort to setting TRACK to 101, 102, 201... but this is not the most elegant solution.
Can support for this tag be added? Thanks!

In that case if the Track tag is populated like below and the Album name is same for the tracks from disc 1 and 2 then the Library will show a single Album name in the list but the tracks will be sorted as below, by the Track tag.
Track 1, Disc 1
Track 1, Disc 2
Track 2, Disc 1
.
.
The standard is that the Track tag contains only the track number.
I think if you try adding [Disc #] as a suffix in the Album tag and then revert to standard number for Track tag these albums should display correctly in the Library

I find putting each disc in a separate folder and the adding the disc number to the album name works for me.

Right, you would want each disk in a separate file folder as well.

For me, the disc number is not a particularly useful concept. It's an artifact of the distribution medium chosen by the producer and not an intrinsic characteristic of the music. Sure, one has to get creative with tags and file names, notably with classical music, but I'm not complaining.
It wasn't so long ago I was having to find and pull a CD case from one of the 4 different cabinets in two different rooms, load up the CD player, adjust amp settings, retreat to the sofa, and hit play on the remote. Now I can sit down and do it all from my client screen. Heaven!
Regards,
Kent
