Generating Discnumbers

Hello

I'd like to generate %discnumber% for my collection, and I don't really want to do it manually... 

I don't know how to create a script which will operate as the auto track number, puting an increasing %discnumber% for a each %album%.

Thanks for your help.

Get all your single-disc albums in one playlist, get 2-disc in other, etc.
Then mass set discnumber tag in both playlist individually. )

Is that so hard to do manually? It will take you about 3-4 minutes i guess.

It's not hard, but I have more than 500 albums to tag so... I'm a bit lazy 
That's why I was looking for a script that put an increasing number at each new %album% tag

The disc number field is for storing the number of a particular album/disc as part of a set; this doesn't seem to be what you want to do. What are you wanting to use the field for? A "counter" of your albums? I don't mean anything but I don't understand your question.

I was completely mistaking about the use of %discnumber%, sorry.
I was looking for a counter, thinking that this field was a kind of an index, but it seems a bit irrelevant now.

Thanks for your help, sorry for the annoyance.

I'm not annoyed; I was just explaining what seems to be the common usage of the field. I'm sure you could use it for whatever purpose you want!

Huh, that's why you didn't want to do it manually )
