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><separator><Side#><separator><Track#>
  • TIN: 14-digit number
  • Side#: decimal number without leading zeros
  • Track#: decimal number without leading zeros
  • separator - the separator character of choice
    • example: 00008637207120-1-1 ("TINT-dash")
    • In TINT-based filing \ or / is used.
      • example: 00008637207120/1/1 ("TINT/" or "TINT forward slash", for Unix/Linux)
      • example: 00008637207120\1\1 ("TINT\" or "TINT backslash", for Windows)

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]
  • Side# - 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.
  • Track# - stored as normal in the format's Track Number field.
