Is there a way in ver 23 to enter a boxset that when it is collapsed only shows the boxset name and boxset cover and when it is expanded shows the individual CDs with their corresponding album name and album cover?

Thanks

Is the Disc # tag filled?

This has come up a few times before. Try searching the V22 & V23 forum for a detailed discussion on how to best achieve this. Jim's suggestion of filled in disk numbers is important but the key thing I think you're after is 'separating' the boxset name from the names of the albums in the boxset.

Yes the disk flag is filled

I remember that I tried this in version 22 but failed so I was wondering if ver 23 has introduced a new funcntionality that would handle this issue,

I do it with 3 custom tags

Box Set - eg Yo yo ma 30 yrs etc.
Disc Name
Disc Volume for REALLY big sets like Beethoven edition optional

Each album in the set has its own album name and artwork

I haven’t managed to get a box artwork image , you get a Fan of the disc artworks

If you are willing to change your disc numbers you can  use 1nonplayable track with the box set cover art set as disc 1, then the real disc 1 gets a tag of disc 2, etc. You can create a new tag with the real disc numbers fotr dsplay.

I am not sure what happens if you just leave the disc # blank with a nonplayable track with the box set cover art. Unfortunately I do not have access to a computer to test.

If MC allowed a disc # of zero this might be an easy solution to an ongoing issue.i

Don't fool around with the disc number. There are boxed sets with multi-disc members.

Adding 1 to the disc # tag and creating a new tag with the original number should have no effect on the box set order. As long as you understand the convention you should be fine. You let MC order by disc # and you display your new tag.  I am not sure what the downside would be. I would prefer to have the box set data as disc # 0 but that is not possible.
