track metadata submissions

The format preferred by the data.tango.info editor for receiving track metadata is text consisting of:

• a header line containing the Mp3tag format string below
• for each track, one line containing the metadata field values as generated by this Mp3tag format string:

<TIN>;%album%;%BAND%;cd;%discnumber%;%track%;%title%;%genre%;%artist%;;%year%;%_length_seconds%

where <TIN> is a source-dependent expression yielding the album TIN. If the source is TINT-based filing, this expression is %_parent_directory%.

For example:

<TIN>;%album%;%BAND%;cd;%discnumber%;%track%;%title%;%genre%;%artist%;;%year%;%_length%

The following Mp3tag export config will generate such a text from a TINT-based filing source:

'<TIN>;%album%;%BAND%;cd;%discnumber%;%track%;%title%;%genre%;%artist%;;%year%;%_length%'
$loop(%_parent_directory%\%_directory%\%track%)%_parent_directory%;%album%;$if($and($and($neql(%BAND%,),$neql(%ALBUMARTIST%,)),$neql(%BAND%,%ALBUMARTIST%)),ERROR! Band/AlbumArtist conflict,%BAND%%ALBUMARTIST%);cd;%discnumber%;%track%;$regexp(%title%,' \[.*\]',);$lower(%genre%);%artist%;;%year%;%_length%
$loopend()

Note: no source property value may contain the separator character ";". Note: Title has any [...] deleted, Genre is lowercased, Album Artist received only one of %band% (WMA/MP3) or %albumartist% (FLAC)
