In v3.32 when I use the **Auto-numbering Wizard** for a multi disc album with separate directories for each disc, the disc numbers are no longer showing as **1/3; 2/3; 3/3** with **\_DIRECTORY** selected as the disc counter reset. It does work when I select **ALBUM,** even though all tracks have the same Album title.

I think the issue is the disc reset setting used to be saved as ALBUM but somehow reverted back to \_DIRECTORY

You have ticked `Next disc on change of directory`.  
If you want to get a reset on change of ALBUM you have to tick `Next disc on change of`and set ALBUM.

Not to be confused with  
`Reset disc counter on change of`  
(you can set it too, if needed.)

From the [documentation](https://docs.mp3tag.de/converters/auto-numbering/#resetting-and-incrementing-counters):

> ### Resetting and Incrementing Counters
> 
> #### Next disc on change of directory
> 
> If enabled, the disc counter is incremented on directory changes.
> 
> #### Next disc on change of field
> 
> If enabled, the disc counter is incremented if the value of the selected field changes.
> 
> #### Reset track counter on next disc
> 
> If enabled, the track counter is reset if the configuration settings above trigger a new disc.
> 
> #### Reset disc counter on change of field
> 
> If enabled, the disc counter is reset if the value of the selected field changes. The track counter is implicitly reset when the disc counter is reset.
