Import Discnumber

<< < (2/3) > >>

lepa:
Okay so that cd/amazon number is only in the metadata and not in the filename. Others can correct me if I'm mistaken but I don't think that MC is able to import non numeric values from disc number tag.

You could use something like foobar2000 (which supports text in the disc #) to copy that tag data into some other user tag which can then be created as string field in MC. That kind of solution is only one I can think of right now

dtc:
The ID3 tag for DISKNUMBER (TPOS - Part of Set) is actually defined as a string. I understand having Disk # as a integer for sorting, but it would be nice for MC to somehow handle TPOS as defined.

ruwi:
Attached is a screenshot of MusicBee, where you can see in the column Disc No. that this program can very well read this metadata and display it in a column. Why can't JRiver do this? It wouldn't be bad if JRiver could have such a feature in the future.

JimH:
The tag probably has a different name.  You can add any tag to MC.  See the wiki for details.

The name must match exactly, including case.

The ID3 specification calls for TPOS (Part of Set) to be a string. If MC is using TPOS for Disc # then it should be a string. If MC is using something else for Disc #, then maybe a new tag that maps to TPOS could be added.  I don't think users can define a new variable that points to a ID3 tag by name.  And, as I stated above, I understand the desire to have Disc # as an integer.  Something to look into.
