Why do some two-disc sets ignor the disc number priority?  
I have tagged a huge collection for storage on a Blusound Vault. Most two-disc sets display correctly (e.g. 1, 2 ,3, 4 . . . 1, 2, 3, 4 . . .), but some, mainly (but not exclusively) from the Harmonia Mundi label, end up displaying the tracks in the order 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, etc. on the BluOs app.  
I've double checked that the disc numbers are all accurate properly tagged but . . . ?

So it's a player problem?  
You have to find out what the difference is between the files that show up properly and the others that don't.  
I suspect that the player behaves like most others and simply ignores data in the field DISCNUMBER.  
I also suspect that you have minute differences in the field ALBUM for the other files that show properly, like e.g. the discnumber also in ALBUM...  
You have to check.

Just for inspiration: here is a thread that deals with ignored discnumbers and possible ways out:

> Hi, what is the easist way in MP3Tag to create continuous track #'s for a multi-disc set? I have an 8 disc set (8 different album titles) and each disc starts numbering at 01. I want to basically make one albumtitle and then combine all the songs from track 01 - track 80.

Thank you so much. The auto track numbering solves the problem.
