This page shows some usage of TINP. For usage of TINT see TINT usage.

Usage by tango.info

tango.info displays TINPs

tango.info accepts TINPs:

  • in URLs to refer to a specific album page, e.g.
https://tango.info/00724383741328
https://tango.info/02480002201526

Usage by music collectors

Audio

For those who store albums on computer in particular, TINP is a way to identify each album. It may be recorded:

  • in the Album title tag, as a suffix e.g. 15 Grandes exitos [08427328020459]. [...] indicates in a way easily understood by programs that it is not part of the title.
  • in the folderpath e.g. C:/My Music/Francisco Canaro/15 Grandes exitos [08427328020459]/1 Sentimiento gaucho.FLAC. This keeps it with the album but avoids consuming librarian display space in the tag.
  • as the entire album folder name e.g. C:/My Music/08427328020459/1/1.FLAC. This likewise keeps it with the album whilst saving display space, plus has the advantages of TINT-based filing, such as facilitating library comparison and merge.

Graphics

Album art may be stored with the TINP as part of the file name or folder path:

  • C:/My Music/08427328020459/graphics/front.jpg
  • C:/My Music/08427328020459/graphics/08427328020459.front.jpg
  • C:/My Images/08427328020459.front.jpg
  • C:/My Images/tango/08427328/08427328020459.front.jpg
  • C:/[...]/coverart/08427328020459/*.jpg (user feedback: I prefer having all pictures in the root folder, but second to that I prefer to have all cover images in a different directory tree, say coverart/<TINP>/*.jpg)
