I'm new to MP3Tag and have a specific need related to adding disc numbers to the "Disc" field in Windows Explorer. Disc numbers are typically found in the "Part of a Set" field. I need to have the disc numbers added to the "Disc" field. Otherwise, my multi-disc albums continued to not be properly sorted in JRiver Media Center when I use JRemote for remote playback. My music is displayed as: 1 Title (disk 1\_track1) 1 Title (disk 2\_track 1) 1 Title (disk 3\_track 1) 2 Title (disk 1\_track 2) 2 Title (disk 2\_track 2) 2 Title (disk 3\_track 2), etc. I have been advised that if I can add the disc number to the Disc field in Windows Explorer, then my tracks on multi-disc albums will sort properly in JRiver Media Center. Any guidance on how to do that using MP3Tag? ![](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/2X/f/f3f43cdf968300445627e5e8ffc9f6b6253af70e.gif) ---
