Disc#1 keeps popping up in mobile app

Funny thing. When I migrated to the web version, for some reason the field Disc Title also contained the album title. So I now dutifully delete that anytime I edit an album. Then I noticed that the words “Disc #1” still cropped up in the mobile app, before the matrix numbers in the area where the duration is mentioned. So, in addition to deleting the album title form the disc title field in the web interface, I added a single space in that field. All looks well on the web, but in the mobile app the “Disc #1” is back! As almost all my vinyl albums are just one disc, this info is not needed. I don’t understand why it is there when I removed it in the web version. (My entire mobile app was synchronized only yesterday, when it suddenly updated all my thousands of entries after I just made a dozen changes. No harm done, it seems.)

So, in the mobile app, under Tracks, the Disc Title field still contains the default words ‘Disc Title’, even though I replaced that with a space in the web database. When I manually put a space there in the mobile app, the “disc# 1” disappears.

Question: Is there a way to empty out all the fields Disc Title on the web in one operation? I don’t mind editing the few multi-disc albums I have later on.

The “Disc 1” appearing is actually intended behaviour, that should happen when a disc title is empty.

I agree that when an album has 1 disc, that header is not needed. Will put that on our ideas list for improvement.

That text is grayed out, isn’t it just an input prompt or placeholder text?

Actually, the field is not empty, as I put a space in there, which is a valid ANSI character, isn’t it? I guess your code strips away lonely spaces somewhere along the line…

So, it would be nice if this were the case:

IF disctitle=empty THEN .NOT. “disc#1” ENDIF

(I would not hire me as a programmer, though!)

Yes, but if left untouched, it results in “disc #1” in the mobile app. Even when replaced with a space.

Ah thank you, will tell our programmers to include that line and then release an update.
