Import Discnumber

<< < (3/3)

lepa:
It seems that you can double dip. To test this I used foobar2000 to update disc # tag to cd1 and then in MC created a new field called DISCNUMBER and ran update library from tags and cd1 was updated to my new field. Disc # field stayed empty as it only supports numbers. If I add number in foobar2000 then both fields get updated in MC when doing update from tags.

So I think that solution for OP is to create user field DISCNUMBER and then do update from tags. Try with few files first

dtc:
DISCNUMBER is a ID3 tag listed in Tag Dump and generally, I think, maps to TPOS.  Perhaps DISCNUMBER could be added to MC as default string field.  So, I guess the question is how all of these map to disc# in MC.   My guess (pure guess) is that disc# is reading DISCNUMBER (TPOS) and converting it to integer and is leaving it blank if it is not an integer. If so, both integer and string forms should be available. I do know that changing disc# changes DISCNUMBER in Tag Dump.

ruwi:
Some have come forward on this topic, but it is still not possible for JRiver to read my assigned disk numbers (see attachment - e.g. C103B) and display them in a column. I was hoping for a new library field to be added to JRiver. In the meantime, even after several updates and the new version 32, nothing has happened. Besides, I might not be the only one who names his CDs with letters and numbers. Other programs, such as Foobar 2000 or MusicBee, do not have any problems displaying the disc numbers as strings.
If I change the disk number from C913 to 913, the DISK# library field can detect this and also represent it. If I create a new library field DISK# and use the same parameters as in the library field DISK#, JRiver doesn't show anything. What's going wrong here?

JimH:
The disc # is an integer.  You can set up a custom field.  Read about tagging on our wiki.

dtc:
Create a new library field DISCNUMBER. That will read and write to the DISCNUMBER tag in the files.
