Multi-Disc Albums - Portable Players
« on: May 17, 2010, 03:20:38 pm »

If you send an album with multiple disks to a portable player, or an MP3 CD,  the portable or CD player loses the ability to play the tracks in the correct order.  These devices (Or at the least the ones i have) do not support the disk tag.
Is there any way, or alternatively this is a feature request, of MC updating the track numbers to make the albums sequential again.  Ie Disk 2 would just follow on the track number of Disk 1.

Sure there is. Enter the disc # value (if it exists) as the leading digit in a padded track number.

Code: [Select]
If(IsEmpty([Disc #],1), 1[Track #] - [Artist] - [Name], [Disc #][Track #] - [Artist] - [Name])

I use:

Code: [Select]
=math((if(IsEmpty([disc #]),1,[disc #]))*100+[track #])

Can you tell MC to do this on transfer?
I don't want to affect the original tags.
Thanks
