There are no subtitles for disc numbers in the tags that PA reads, but I agree it would still be nice to create break lines to separate between Disc#1, Disc#2, Disc#3, etc in any lists that are sorted By Disc#/Track#. There are a number of other sorting orders that would benefit from break separators too - such as any list sorted By Year could have the Year Number at a subheader between each block of songs, or a list sorted By Date Added or By Date Modified could have subheader breaks of "Today", "Yesterday", "Last Week", "Last Month", etc.

As this sort of thing has been requested a few times in the past, I'll add it to the Frequently Requested Features list.

That's great. Thank you for your time!

I support this request and would also like to add that Poweramp misrepresents the logical order of the discs. To explain:

For example, with 11 discs, the order is as follows:

1, 10, 11, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

The only workaround at the moment is to tag the single-digit disc numbers with a 0 in front of them, i.e. 01, 02, 03, etc.

I'm aware that collections with so many discs are very rare, but I've noticed the error and I think it could be fixed very easily.

I didn't know Disc# tags were being stored in the database as text, which is what would cause this issue as that sorting pattern is normal for ASCII text sorting. I assumed they were being sorted as integer numbers like Track tags are (leading zeros are not necessary in Track# tags).

I agree there aren't many real-world examples with more than nine discs in a set, but as you say a few such multi-disc collections do exist. Hopefully Max might be able to address this issue as part of the changes he's already making to Track# and Disc# handling:

A visual break-point within album listings when a new Disc# starts would be a nice idea too.
