I request ABS add support for sectioning chapters by disc number when disc numbers are detected.

Many (audio)books are sectioned into Parts or Volumes. Many books even reset Chapter Numbers at the start of a new volume/part. I use the Disc Number ID3 tag in my audiobooks to label them.

(See below for an example:)

Abs already detects the disc number ID3 tag. The audio file tag can be any one of 'discnumber', 'disc', 'disk', 'tpos'.

Are you talking about adding some sort of UI that separates out the discs? I'm not sure how that would work with abs current design.

Yes, That's what I'm requesting.

I switched from Jellyfin to Audiobookshelf and this is a feature I'm missing. It would be great to see it here :)

I also greatly desire this UI change. Additionally, please add a field for Disc Name to be used as a header for the divided section.

AFAIK there isn't an established tag for it. However, many books use disc as a volume or "book within a book" separator.

Just allowing users to input the volume name would be very useful, and if we can use a custom tag to import it even better.
