track metadata submissions

The format preferred by the data.tango.info editor for receiving track metadata is text consisting of:

• the header line

<TIN>;%album%;%BAND%;cd;%discnumber%;%track%;%title%;%genre%;%artist%;;%date%;%_length%

• for each track, a line containing the metadata field values according with the header line
  • <TIN> is a source-dependent expression yielding the album TIN.
    • If the source is TINT-based filing, this may be generated by the Mp3tag placeholder %_parent_directory%.
  • [Further details to be added]

For example:

<TIN>;%album%;%BAND%;cd;%discnumber%;%track%;%title%;%genre%;%artist%;;%date%;%_length%

The following Mp3tag export config will generate such a text from a TINT-based filing source:

$filename(c:\temp.txt,ANSI)'<TIN>;%album%;%BAND%;cd;%discnumber%;%track%;%title%;%genre%;%artist%;;%year%;%_length%'
$loop(%_parent_directory%\%_directory%\%track%)%_parent_directory%;$regexp(%album%,' +\[.*\]',);$if($and($and($neql(%BAND%,),$neql(%ALBUMARTIST%,)),$neql(%BAND%,%ALBUMARTIST%)),ERROR! Band/AlbumArtist conflict,%BAND%%ALBUMARTIST%);cd;$regexp(%discnumber%,^(\d+)/.*$,\1);%track%;$regexp(%title%,' \[.*\]',);$lower(%genre%);%artist%;;%year%;%_length%
$loopend()
