Personally I think it should stick to the boxset guide with Disc#.
But the disc has Vol.# printed on it so I guess artist intent can be argued,
however I think this is one of the instances where artist intent is being
pushed into a situation that it never really existed.  Changing Vol to Disc
doesn't effect the meaning of the box set in any way.  If you told Sufjan
Stevens that we changed Vol to Disc for consistancy I don't think he'd fly
off the handle screaming, "WHAT!!  You can't do that!  Now the whole meaning
of the boxed set makes no sense!!!"
