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: possible are - / \.
- 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 -
- 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 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.
