Since it's not possible to use scripting in tag mapping, the only way is to format the two fields (without interfering with the Vorbis tags). The last remaining bit is to adjust the combined ID3 tags, so they would be displayed separately. I already added VorbisComment in User-defined field mappings so FLAC files would have TRACKTOTAL and DISCTOTAL re-mapped to TOTALTRACKS and TOTALDISCS respectively. However, instead of trying to figure out the sorting, I decided I'd rather re-map the tags and format the fields in Mp3tag so they would be displayed separately in the same four fields. I had my files tagged exactly like this before, but because I haven't encountered any issues for a long time, I forgot why I tagged them this way. Sorry for double posting, but after some time of searching I found out that the standard for ID3 tags is to use combined TRACK/TOTALTRACKS (TRCK tag field) and DISCNUMBER/TOTALDISCS (TPOS tag field) and separate TRACK, TRACKTOTAL, DISCNUMBER and DISCTOTAL tag fields for Vorbis tags. Thanks again both of you very much for helping me resolve this! I might have posted in the Support section if I knew that the first issue (editable fields) was not the program limitation but a setting instead. I'll write an action to split the two fields, it should not be too hard to do (or even find here on forums, because I imagine it is used very often). However, thanks to you guys, I found out that I have been using %disctotal% instead of %totaldiscs% and when I use the latter, everything works fine for both mp3 and flac files (no additional fields are shown in other programs). I combined the "Track" field as well so it would look alike. When I modified the "Total Discs" value in these programs, it would make the "Disc Number" field combined again, so I guessed that this is the correct way to do it. And now I know that I can do this with other fields if I needed, which is excellent!Īs for why I have been used the combined values, my other software (foobar2000 and MusicBrainz Picard) were showing an additional tag called DISCTOTAL and the empty "Total Discs" tag when I used the two separate fields. The "field" values have been blank for both of the columns, so setting them to the same string as the "value" fields now lets me edit the fields, which is exactly what I needed. Thank you both very much for your responses! sometimes I have the need for a column "Track". You can do it, but there may be also the need to define a fitting sort criterium in the "Sort by" column definition dialog.įor example. If you need to combine different values into one single column. The column for "Totaltracks" should be defined as. The column for "Track" should be defined as. The column for "Totaldiscs" should be defined as. The column for "Disc" or "Discnumber" should be defined as. In general you should avoid to store values into a tagfield, which has been combined from other distinct values. I would expect the value 1 to be at the top, following with 1/1, then 1/2, 1/3 and so on. it looks like the Track Number and Disc Number fields are not sorted the way I was hoping for. Hello there! I'd like to ask some things about Disc Number and Disc Total columns. Thanks for any feedback, much appreciated! Here is a screenshot with some of my files sorted by the Disc Number column: and here by the Track Number column. However this is not the case, it seems like the stuff after the forward slash is simply ignored. On another note, it looks like the Track Number and Disc Number fields are not sorted the way I was hoping for. It would be great if the fields in Disc Number and Disc Total would be clickable as well Here is a screenshot of a clickable Track field. It would be really convenient if we could edit the fields directly without the need to go to the Extended Tags for each song individually. I only use Track and Disc Number fields for my mp3 files, but I use Track, Total Tracks, Disc Number and Disc Total for my flac files. I often edit single files from an album and going through the Extended Tags dialog for each track takes much more time. This means that you can't use a left click on a field in these columns and start typing a value, then confirm it with the enter key. I was wondering if there is a purpose so that fields in Disc Number and Disc Total columns are not able to be clicked like other fields, such as Track or Total Tracks.
