I agree if we have this situation:

Disc 1 ---> "Install Disc"
Disc 2 ---> "Disc A"
Disc 3 ---> "Disc B"

if they are only "Disc A" & "Disc B" it's good as themabus did adding it in the comment.

Moreover I would like to split game disc with bonus or omake that are labelled as disc #, this could be added in notes, for example:

Sengoku Blade: Sengoku Ace Episode II (Japan) (Disc 1) ---> Sengoku Blade: Sengoku Ace Episode II (Japan)

Sengoku Blade: Sengoku Ace Episode II (Omake CD) (Japan) (Disc 2) ---> Sengoku Blade: Sengoku Ace Episode II (Omake CD) (Japan)

This because sometimes they label them with numbers / letters and sometimes not: we have to choose a standard also because sometimes those discs are added wrongly (they may have a number but dumper doesn't care, or the opposite).

At all we need more fields to add infos that stay only in DB and not in dats.

By the way, I think there's something wrong with the naming of the discs in the PC USA version of Final Fantasy VII. "Disc 1" is actually the install disc, and discs 2, 3 and 4 should be 1, 2 and 3, respectively.

This is one of the situation I said above, it could be renamed like this:

Final Fantasy VII (Install Disc)
Final Fantasy VII (Disc 1)
Final Fantasy VII (Disc 2)
Final Fantasy VII (Disc 3)

By the way we have to write down some standards to avoid future discussions about these matters.

IMO, CDs should be named either by header or by CD labels. Disc A, Disc B - by CD labels. You're basically offer to name them according to the header here, ok, but:

You contradict yourself here. This Omake CD has "CD2/2" in the header, so it acts as a 2nd CD.

I was not contradicting if you read well, I said we have to find a standard for those discs (however all info has to be in DB).
In my opinion Disc 1,2,3 etc. should be added only for game discs, all bonus discs should be set apart even if they are labelled as Disc # or have CDn/n in header.
I give you another example: God of Wars II (USA) (Disc 1) (Disc 2) ---> Disc 2 is not a game disc and Euro release doesn't have it (probably also Jap, I have to open it to see), it can confuse people.

I don't know about God of Wars II, but all the Saturn CDs have their CD/volume numbers in the header (except the audio and non-Saturn bonus ones). I don't like a standalone game cd entry, if it has "CD-1/2" in the header.

First: The game is titled "God of War II"

Second: US version was released in 2-Discs-Pack, both discs are numbered

Third: it's quite obvious I mistook title and that I've said the same about US release but that disc 2 is not a game disc (or it's a game disc?)
