Is there a way to set how many discs are included in one CD/DVD case? If not, can this be added?

>1 jacobgoerzen: Not per se, but you could use 'volumes'. The fields are the same as for books, so number of volumes is the equivalent to number of discs for CD media

I did not know that could be used for that. Thanks!

It’s your record, you can use most fields for whatever you want to use them for. :)

I generally note the number of discs (along with format) in the publication field. For example, one of my my copies of Swan Lake has this: Decca Phase 4 Stereo 10BB 168-170, 3 disc box set, 33 1/2 rpm long play record, or Roy Orbison's All-Time Greatest Hits has: Monument MNT 67290 (1972), 2 discs in gatefold sleeve, 33 1/2 rpm long play record.

Come to think of it, I ought to flag our digipack CDs as well (they are a pain because the spiders tend to break).
