      • $num(%barcode%,14)-$num($max(1,%discnumber%),2)-%track%

Mass tagging

  • Select the files you want to masstag
    • put them in a playlist
  • Copy TINTs
    • selecting all files, Right-click | Utils | Text tools | Copy: TINT
  • Send TINTs and name of fields to tango.info
  • Put the metadata obtained from tango.info into foobar2000
    • Copy the results and return to foobar2000
    • Right click | Properties | Tools | Automatically Fill Valuess

Mis-tagging

Report: ca 4000 tracks were ordered by TINT, the TINTs were pasted into the tagger1.3.4 and format string was "%tiwc%". Ca. 500 of the result lines had a TIWC. Then properties -> automticall fill values was chosen. The TIWC were misaligned. Behavior could be reproduced. Fix was to use "%tint%;%tiwc%" as format string, avoiding blank lines.
