Too Easy VII -- Things we should do because they are so simple
Awesome Donkey:
Okay, here's my single too easy request though to be honest I don't have much hope in it happening for various reasons but here goes...
- Allow 0 as a track number, which would be useful for hidden track one audio (HTOA) tracks for albums with a hidden track. Right now I have to workaround it for the handful of albums using -1 which honestly is kinda ugly, would rather use 0 as a track number.

Why not?
Awesome Donkey:
Because I'm not sure how operating systems like Windows or various Linux distros or other apps like Windows Media Player, MPC-HC, etc. would read/handle a track with a 0 track number written in the metadata. My guess would be Windows (File Explorer) would either ignore it or remove it from the metadata when trying to read it.
HTOA tracks can be kinda annoying to deal with.
Matt:
Zero and empty are the same today. So it would need to show zero for any unfilled values if we changed. I don't feel strongly either way.
marko:
With expressions in active use in more places than I can remember, if this became a thing, aside from the unsightly notion that empty fields would all start showing "0", would this break an unknown number of occurrences where expressions depend on the IsEmpty() function?
