I pretty much agree. Notionally, the disc number is really just a part of the track number, and together they specify the song's position within the album. Appending the disc number to the album name is just an ugly hack for music players that don't understand disc numbers. I do stop short of renumbering a multidisc album's songs outright, though. There's no need to break the association with the physical album's numbering, especially when the music player can handle disc numbers properly. It could be worse, though. Take a look at an SPC file's metadata sometime. You have a disc number, track number, *and* a subtrack number!
