I have been using Auto Numbering Wizard to do my track and disk numbering. track numbers are in the form 01/12 disc either 1/1 or 1/2 etc. An issue I seen to have is if I make any changes using mp3tag to say album artwork or correcting a typo in the metadata I always have to re do the Auto Numberi…

We still don't know how you really did it. From your description I would think that you mean the Windows Explorer but you cannot add albumart with the properties menu of Windows Explorer. So I think you display your files with another piece of software, maybe a player?

No that is not normal. Auto Number is manually initiated. What files are we talking about? Mp3's? Can you check for me under File - Options - Tags - Mpeg what options are set under Remove Can you check your actions and maybe one of those removes TRACK

Thanks for responding.. problem is with FLAC. The “Can you check for me under File - Options - Tags - Mpeg what options are set under Remove” Was just whatever was default..have not changed it. It has all 3 boxes ticked under the remove section. Thanks.

I don't have FLAC around at the moment thus can't test, but it's definitely not normal that TRACK gets deleted. Did you check your actions? Can your try this Save the track / disc into the file and then check with Extended Tags what does it say. Do you see the TRACK / DISC listed there?

It doesn’t get totally deleted just reverts back to track numbering like 1/15 instead of 01/15.

If reverts that could mean that is something with Flac specific. Wait for @Florian or @ohrenkino to comment on this, as my knowledge is limited about this

If simply just use the tag panel to change a detail in say title or maybe improve the album artwork via using the PC file and apply a a new .jpg

Have you checked if the track numbers were really written with a leading zero when you first applied the wizard? Is "Leading zeros ..." checked in the wizard? Are your files really flac-files? MP4-files for instance don't allow leading zeros, flac-files do.

I have my entire music folder on separate drives..multiple copies FLAC Uncompressed FLAC Level 5 ALAC LAME ALAC I no doesn’t support it and LAME seems to be ok with any change. Although I have coped with this issue of having to redo the track numbering wizard its something if I can avoid it..i…
