The easiest way to explain is with an example.

Eric Clapton's 24 Nights album is two disks.
Disk one has tracks 1 - 8
Disk two has tracks 1 - 7

Is it possible to have MC arrange these as One album with 15 tracks?
The disk one tracks would still be 1 - 8 but disk two tracks would be 9 - 15.

I know I can manually edit the tag info to accomplish this.
I was wondering if I can set a rule or option somewhere to do it automatically?
This way I can undo it if it ends up being undesirable.

Just omitting the disk designation from the album name will List them as one album but there will be two track 1's, two track 2's etc.

I tag my double albums with the same album title and use the field "Disc #" to designate the different discs in the set.

This is also what I do.

I use [Disc 1] and [Disc 2] in the Album title, but if you want to join them as one album you can

select all the tracks on both discs in order (the [Disc 1] tracks before the tracks on [Disc 2])

then right-click and select "Fill Track Numbers from list order"

You will now have sequentially numbered tracks spanning both Discs and can remove the [Disc 1] and [Disc 2] from the album names.

I put (Disc 1), (Disc 2) and so on, in the album name. sometimes im too lazy to separate discs so i leave them in one folder and put (2 Discs) in the album name.
At least this way i can separate them some day when i am bored.

i don't like using the disc # field because it doesn't account for parts or volumes.

i have many singles of the same name but of different parts so i use (Part 1), (Part 2), etc instead of disc numbers

you can also add more info after the disc number like Vol 1, Vol 2, Remastered, Deluxe, Japan Edition, Amazon Exclusive, Collectors, HD, Expanded, Reissue, Promo, etc

this is a topic that interests me a lot, but unfortunately I do not speak very good English and do not understand the steps to do

I have for example a double cd with of course 2 file .cue and 2 file .ape
What can I do to see in my library as it were a single cd (with a single cover) that contains all the track of the 2 albums?
thanx for help and sorry for my english

I'm not sure if this will work with entire cd's in one file instead of individual tracks.
Renumber the tracks from Disc 1, 1-10 Disk 2, 1-10 to 1-20
Then make sure the Artist, Album Artist, and Album fields are identical.

If that doesn't do it you may have to edit the .cue file.
