Configure the text tools to copy TINTs:

File | Preferences | Tools | Text tools

Add a new tag called TINT, with the following pattern if you use strict barcode pattern:

$num($directory(%path%,2),14)-$num($max(1,%discnumber%),2)-%track%

Or if you use tags with barcode, you may use

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

Put the files you want to masstag in a playlist

Copy tints by selecting all, Right-click | Utils | Text tools | Copy: TINT

Paste into the tango.info tagger tool:

http://tools.tango.info/tagger1.3.php

You should get a string labeled

%X-linecounter%;%X-TIN%;%album%;%BAND%;%discnumber%;%track%;%title%;%artist%;%genre%;%year%;%dummy%

e.g.

1;00008637207120;King of Rhythm 1937-1944;Juan D'Arienzo;1;1;El choclo;Juan D'Arienzo;tango;1937-07-26;;22;

Copy the results and return to foobar2000

Right click | Tagging | Manage Scripts Add Input data

In the Input data dialog, paste the data in the bottom pane.

Put the following scheme in the top line:

%%;%barcode%;%album%;%album artist%;%discnumber%;%track%;%title%;%track artist%;%genre%;%date%;%%;%totaltracks%;

Note: This scheme should match the output of the tango.info tagger, "%%" discards data.
