| ==TINT== | | ==see also== |
| The TINT scheme is a TIN-based scheme for referencing individual tracks.
| | * [[TINT]] - referencing tracks |
| | |
| A TINT is a reference to one track of one side of one album, and is of the form:
| |
| | |
| *<nowiki><TIN>-<Disc#>-<Track#></nowiki> 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 Album: '''King of Rhythm 1937-1944 [00008637207120]'''
| |
| *Disc# - stored in the first part of WMA/PartOfSet, FLAC (Vorbis comments) Discnumber or MP3 (ID3V2.4) TPOS. E.g. the '''1''' in TPOS '''1/2''' for the first disc of a two-disc album.
| |
| *Track# - stored in the conventional Track Number.
| |
| | |
| ===TINT-based filing===
| |
| TINT\ may be used as a music library's filepath format e.g. track 1 of disc 1 of the album having the TIN 00008637207120 is stored at D:\MyMusic\00008637207120\1\1.flac .
| |
| | |
| The TINT subfilepath is fixed forever. It contains no metadata, so avoids metadata correction causing inconsistentcy or breakage of references from e.g. playlists. The TINT subfilepath is constant across multiple libraries, allowing playlist to be transported, file extension and content set permitting.
| |
| | |
| To ease identification when browsing the folder tree directly, each album folder may contain a file named '''<Album> - <Album Artist>.txt''' or '''.htm'''. This can contain track metadata.
| |
| | |
| To ease location of a particular album, there may additional subfolders holding names links/shortcuts:
| |
| *"!Explore by Album title" holding links/shortcuts named '''<Album> - <Album Artist>.lnk'''
| |
| * "!Explore by Album Artist" holding links/shortcuts named '''<Album Artist> - <Album>.lnk'''.

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.
usage
tango.info uses TINs in URLs, e.g.
http://eng.tango.info/00724383741328
http://eng.tango.info/02480002201526
they are also needed for tagging with tools.tango.info.
