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>-<Side#>-<Track#>

TIN: 14-digit number
Side#: decimal number without leading zeros
Track#: decimal number without leading zeros
separator - the separator character of choice
- - example TINT 00008637207120-1-1 (TINT-dash)
- for TINT based filing \ or / are used (TINT slash)
  - example TINT 00008637207120/1/1 (TINT/, TINT forward slash)
  - example TINT 00008637207120\1\1 (TINT\, TINT backward slash)

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.
- FLAC (Vorbis comments): Discnumber
- WMA: WMA/PartOfSet
- MP3 (ID3V2.4): TPOS
Track# - stored as normal in the format's Track Number field.

-** The prefered method of applying them don't mix them, i.e. the first and the second seperator for one TINT are the same.
-** the standard seperator is '''<tt>-</tt>'''
 ***example TINT 00008637207120-1-1 (TINT-dash)
 ** for [[TINT based filing]]  '''<tt>\</tt>''' or '''<tt>/</tt>''' are used (TINT slash)
