That was the intended behavior:

> [@TOTALDISCS / DISCNUMBER differences Foobar2000 and MP3tag](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/totaldiscs-discnumber-differences-foobar2000-and-mp3tag/64964/10):

It's usually a good idea to [link](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/totaldiscs-discnumber-differences-foobar2000-and-mp3tag/64964/10) to the source of things that you copy and try to adjust for your use case.
