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.
