Overview
TIN (Tango Info Number) is a 14-digit numeric identifier used by tango.info and others.
The TIN scheme was designed by tango.info to be used instead of the GTIN (Global Trade Item Number) scheme where tango-related items need to be covered. It covers all items that GTIN does, plus tango items that GTIN does not cover due to the GTIN authority having not assigned them numbers.
The TIN set is a superset of the used GTIN set. Specifically, it contains all used numbers in the GTIN set, and it also contains special TINs (STINs), including Code Agreement TINs (CASTINs).
Usage by tango.info
tango.info accepts TINs:
- in URLs to refer to a specific album page, e.g.
http://www.tango.info/00724383741328 http://www.tango.info/02480002201526
- in searches to find a specific album e.g. http://eng.tango.info/search?q=08427328020459
- in the tango.info tagging interface(s).
tango.info displays TINs
- In references to and information about albums e.g. http://eng.tango.info/08427328020459
Usage by music collectors
For those who store albums on computer in particular, TIN is an excellent way to identify each album. It may be recorded:
- in the Album title tag, as a suffix e.g. 15 Grandes exitos [08427328020459]. [...] indicates in a way easily understood by programs that it is not part of the title.
- in the folderpath e.g. C:/My Music/Francisco Canaro/15 Grandes exitos [08427328020459]/1 Sentimiento gaucho.FLAC. This keeps it with the album but avoids consuming librarian display space in the tag.
- as the entire album folder name e.g. C:/My Music/08427328020459/1/1. FLAC. This likewise keeps it with the album whilst saving display space, plus has the advantages of TINT-based filing, such as facilitating library comparison and merge.
