You are welcome.

"Testing" was simple: I love classical music and buy new CDs regularly. In many cases there is no musicbrainz release yet (maybe most users do not like classical music?). I add a new release then. Most times my records consists of multiple discs which are assigned to the same release. The last opera I added was "Götterdämmerung" by Richard Wagner, see
http://musicbrainz.org/release/cafaa097-acdf-4311-9171-81a6fefd423f

The release consists of four discs each with a unique disc id attached.

If you want to test the patch: Search for a multi disc album in your CD shelf. Check whether or not it is already known to Musicbrainz (I'm using "picard" for that purpose). If there is a release already check that this release really consists of more than one disc (some users create multiple releases, one for each disc. This is not how it should be done!). If all discs are correctly assigned to the same release, you have your test candidate. If not, try another album. If your album is not yet known to Musicbrainz, I suggest you simply create a new release. :-)

Try to rip on of the discs with soundkonverter. Here the patch now checks for situations where libkcddb returns more tracks than available on the physical disc. That's the only way to identify multi disc releases (as long as libkcddb relies on the deprecated musicbrainz library version). The selection box should show up and you can select the first entry of the current disc by hand.

I hope this helps. :-)
