Would also love some support for a subset of tracks on the same disc as opposed to all tracks on a single disc or all tracks.

Cfr. [Add discsubtitle to string options - #6 by matt77hias](http://support.symfonium.app/t/add-discsubtitle-to-string-options/9401/6)

Just asking Gemini:

`MOVEMENT` seems officially supported by MP3 (ID3v2.4) and MP4.  
`TRACKSUBTITLE` is not officially supported.

## ID3 Tag Usage

- **SETSUBTITLE** : 💿 This tag applies to the **entire set** of discs or tracks. It’s used when you have a multi-disc album or a collection where a subtitle describes the whole package. For example, if you have a “Greatest Hits” album released as a 2-disc set, “Vol. 1” might be the `DISCSUBTITLE` for the first disc, while “The Definitive Collection” could be the `SETSUBTITLE` for the entire release.
- **DISCSUBTITLE** : 📀 This tag is specific to a **single disc** within a multi-disc set. It describes all tracks on that particular disc. If a box set has discs with individual themes (e.g., “Disc 1: Ballads,” “Disc 2: Up-Tempo”), those themes would be `DISCSUBTITLE` values.
- **MOVEMENTNAME** : 🎼 This tag is designed for a **subset of tracks** on the same disc that constitute a larger musical work, such as movements in a classical symphony or parts of a suite. For example, in Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5, “Allegro con brio” would be the `MOVEMENTNAME` for the first track that is part of the first movement, and subsequent tracks making up that movement would also share that `MOVEMENTNAME`.
- **SUBTITLE** : 🎶 This tag is for a **single, individual track**. It provides a secondary title or additional descriptive information for that specific song. For instance, a track might be titled “My Song,” but its `SUBTITLE` could be “(Live at Wembley)” or “(Remix).”
