Two versions of same cd Vault 2i

I just bought and anniversary version of a cd. It has two discs, original version on disc 2 and remastered version on disc 1. I have ripped them both with the Vault 2i and what happens is that Vault merges them together and updates the songs in the disc 1 folder. Is there a way that I could avoid this from happening?

  Use a tageditor like mp3tag (free) to access the tracks on your vault and add "CD1" and "CD2" or such to the albumtag of the corresponding CD.

  Yes I could do that if the Vault would rip two individual tracks of each song but after ripping the first CD it just writes over the existing songs while ripping CD2. I've tried now twice and this happens each time. Only the bonus song that is only on CD1 stays unchanged. Just to be clear both CDs have same titles except for the bonus track on the CD1, but the versions are different.

  That will probably work. I will try that. Thanks.

  Using DISCNUMBER is better - you don't get pollution of the album name field that way. Use a tag editor to set the discnumber for each track to "1" or "2".

  Even more ideally, if BluOS supported it, you could use the more canonical fields like DISCSUBTITLE or TSST.
