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)
