'''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.

== Usage ==
The TINT scheme is a TIN-based scheme for referencing individual tracks.
See [[TINP usage]]


A TINT is a reference to one track of one side of one album, and is of the form:
== Checkdigit ==
*<nowiki><TIN>-<d>-<t> where <d> and <t></nowiki> are the decimal side and track number without leading zeros, e.g. 00008637207120-1-1 .
The TINP includes a [[check digit]] calculated by the same method as for GTIN.


TINT\ is an alternative presentation in which '-' is replaced by '\'. Likewise TINT/.
== Errors and fixes ==
tango.info may make errors in its use of TINPs. Fixes are published at the page "[[TINP fix]]".


===TINT-based filing===
Invalid TINPs will be kept and point to the replacement TINP if any.
TINT\ may be used as the filepath format for a music library e.g. one track's filepath is D:\MyMusic\00008637207120\1\1.WMA .


This filepath contains no metadata such as album title, artist etc., an advantage being that metadata may be corrected without breaking references e.g. in playlists. In TINT-based filing, local playlist references never break because the TINT part of the filepath never changes.
== Permanence ==
# TINPs will never be deleted.
# If a TINP is found to be invalid (check digit calculation fails) it is kept and points to the corrected TINP. A record on [[TINP fix]] will be created.
# If a TINP is found to have been linked to an album that instead has another TINP, it will point there as long as no TINP that is a [[GTIN]] refers to another [[tango.info product]]. GTIN compliance comes first. A record on [[TINP fix]] will be created.


To ease identification when browing the folder tree directly, each album folder may contain a file named '''<Album> - <Abum Artist>.txt''' or '''.htm'''. This can contain track metadata.
== See also ==
 
* tango.info local TINP - [[TINL]]
To ease location of a particular album, an additional subfolder named e.g. "!Explore by Album title" may contain links/shortcuts to all the album folders, each named e.g. '''<Album> - <Abum Artist>.lnk'''. A second subfolder may contain a set named e.g. '''<Abum Artist> - <Album>.lnk'''.

* Track referencing using TINP - [[TINT]]
===TINT fields and tags===
TINT fields values are normally maintained also in the audio file tag values, for example:
*TIN - stored as a custom sub-field of Album: '''King of Rhythm 1937-1944 [00008637207120]'''
*Disc# - stored as the first sub-field of WMA/PartOfSet, FLAC Discnumber or MP3 TPOS. E.g. the "1" in TOPS "1/2" for the first disc of a two-disc album.
*Track# - stored as track number.

4.2.1 TPOS Part of a set
  The 'Part of a set' frame is a numeric string that describes which
  part of a set the audio came from. This frame is used if the source
  described in the "TALB" frame is divided into several mediums, e.g. a
  double CD. The value MAY be extended with a "/" character and a
  numeric string containing the total number of parts in the set. E.g.
  "1/2".
 
This means that the latest version of the standard for ID3 tags (the type
of tags used in MP3 files) has a tag field for side number e.g. the first CD of a two-CD album would have TPOS "1/2".

Overview

TINP (Tango Info Number for a Product) is a 14-digit numeric tango.info code used by tango.info and others.

The TINP 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 producer not having assigned them numbers.

The TINP 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 (TINLs), including Code Agreement TINs (TINCs).

TINP-based descriptors

There exist several TINP-based descriptors.

Usage

See TINP usage

Checkdigit

The TINP includes a check digit calculated by the same method as for GTIN.

Errors and fixes

tango.info may make errors in its use of TINPs. Fixes are published at the page "TINP fix".

Invalid TINPs will be kept and point to the replacement TINP if any.

Permanence

  1. TINPs will never be deleted.
  2. If a TINP is found to be invalid (check digit calculation fails) it is kept and points to the corrected TINP. A record on TINP fix will be created.
  3. If a TINP is found to have been linked to an album that instead has another TINP, it will point there as long as no TINP that is a GTIN refers to another tango.info product. GTIN compliance comes first. A record on TINP fix will be created.
