Overview
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)
Examples
- 00008637207120-1-1 ("TINT hyphen-minus")
- 00008637207120.1.1 ("TINT dot")
- In TINT-based filing \ or / is used ("TINT slash").
- for Unix/Linux: 00008637207120/1/1 ("TINT/" or "TINT forward slash")
- for Windows: 00008637207120\1\1 ("TINT\" or "TINT backslash")
Regex
It has the regex:
([0-9]{14})([\\/-])([0-9]{1,})([\\/-])([0-9]{1,})
Note: This regexp matches also non-TINT Chrisjjj 2010-08-09T19:42:27 (UTC)
TINT and tags
The components of TINT 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.
- Foobar
- if barcode and discnumber are present, if no discnumber "1" is assmue
- $num(%barcode%,14)-$num($max(1,%discnumber%),2)-%track%
- if barcode is there and discnumber is absent, assume discnumber "1"
- $num(%barcode%,14)-$num($max(1,%discnumber%),2)-%track%
- if having in album name King of Rhythm 1937-1944 [00008637207120]
- ToDo ? probably something like $left($right(%album%,15)),14)-$num($max(1,%discnumber%),2)-%track%, or search for [ and ] for a more advanced
- if barcode and discnumber are present, if no discnumber "1" is assmue
TINT and pathnames
TINT may be used as the basis of the track pathnames in in audio library. This allows standardisation across and within libraries, providing e.g. permanent references for playlists.
