TINT

Overview

The TINT scheme is a TIN-based scheme for referencing individual tracks.

A TINT is a reference to one track of one side of one album, and is of the form:

• <TIN>-<Disc#>-<Track#> e.g. 00008637207120-1-1 .

Disc# and Track# are decimal numbers without leading zeros.

TINT\ is an alternative presentation in which '-' is replaced by '\'. Likewise TINT/.

TINT fields and tags

TINT field values are usefully stored in the audio file tags, for example:

• TIN - stored in a custom sub-field of the Album field, e.g. King of Rhythm 1937-1944 [00008637207120]
• Disc# - stored in the particular format's equivalent field, as either the entire tag value or where the tag value is in two-part format, the first part e.g. the 1 in 1/2 for the first disc of a two-disc album. E.g.
  • FLAC (Vorbis comments): Discnumber
  • WMA: WMA/PartOfSet
  • MP3 (ID3V2.4): TPOS
• Track# - stored as normal in the format's Track Number field.
