I have a pretty big library, and for some items, there are multi-part albums, such as Whitney Houston’s “The Thrown Down & the Cool Down” or Foo Fighter’s “In Your Honor” or Jars Of Clay’s “Furthermore”, as well as audiobook collections, such as Peter F. Hamilton’s Commonwealth saga, or George RR Ma…

what about the implementation of the DISCSUBTITLE???

As a user of Plexamp, I’m hitting this tread again for Plex server to add support for the ‘DiscSubTitle’ tag. It seems like a pretty simple add to process one more tag at the point where the hardcoded disc label (‘DISC n’) is being generated using the ‘DiscNumber’ and ‘TotalDiscs’ tags. But I’m sur…

This should be indeed any rather easy fix with a lot of ‘quality of life’ improvement. I just mentioned it in another reddit comment. So maybe that may give it it’s needed push.

Thank you, jesperplexter, for the reddit post link! I’m just switching over to Plex for my music collection and hope that Plex adds support for Disc titles ASAP!

Adding my vote, as I have numerous box sets—mostly CDs for me—where the individual Discs have names, be they album titles or themes or topics or whatever. I’m not 100% sure if DISCTITLE support works for my use case though. I wonder if there may also be some unanswered implementation detail questio…

This would be really helpful. I have box set collections containing albums with similar track listings, and being able to title a disc "Live in Paris 1979” for example would be a big quality of life improvement.

Wow, the number of votes for this feature makes me sad :frowning: I think it’s being overcomplicated though. Skip all the complex situations, skip collections, and make it a metadata only feature so you don’t have to touch file name processing. If track1 has disctitle then display. That’s all the …

Yes, please implement this simple fix. i have a lot of multi-disc box sets that are segregated into categories, so to speak. For example, discs 1 and 2 are rarities, disc 3 and 4 are a live show, disc 5 is a remaster of a previously released album, etc… It is ridiculous to either have to lose the di…

[image] Lincoln_and_Romaine: [Admin edit]: there are separate ID3 tags for a disc label. It is a bad idea to misuse the ‘Disc Number’ tag for titles. Let’s modify this request thread to allow for disc labels in general. Which ID3 tag or Vorbis tag is responsible for the ‘disc title’ is an imp…

Just keeping this feature request alive with my vote. I’d love to be able to name the individual discs in a multi-disc album. Just got the Complete Columbia Record Collection of Johnny Cash albums, and would love to keep them together as a single ‘album’ but name the discs with the name of the origi…

Replying to keep this thread visible. Plex developers, please implement this. It’s been implemented in Navidrome; you can do it, too.
