Hi together, I came across an issue today with the latest official release (and also the dev release 3.12a). I like to use the auto numbering wizard with leading zeros for around 170 tracks. Doing this in Mp3tag the values got displayed correctly like 001, 002, 003, ... 172. When checking the file…

see this thread [image] [X] Problem with leading zeros in the TRACK tag No Bugs We have already noted this phenomenon. /t/11709/1 The problem seems not related to Mp3tag but to other software on the target system. Numbers resp. number strings (!), which contain only dig…

Further to this, the original Redbook definition for CD has a track limit of 99. So in those cases, up to track 99/99 this issue would not come up. Of course these days with digital downloads of some compilations numbering well into the hundreds or more tracks, there are going to be possible problem…

Hi togehter, Thanks for your thoughts on that. Strangely it does not occur for every folder with tracks. When displaying it in windows explorer it is column title number. I have cleared the field content for all tracks before writing them with Mp3tag so it should not make a differenceif there were …

So these tracks are coming from CD - limited to 99 tracks per disc. If you have the disc and track numbers tagged in your files, then use the suggestion I mentioned first to build your filenames. This avoids the three digit issue altogether. %discnumber%-%track% %title%

[image] Superlutz: I never cam across this issue in previous versions hence I feel this is something new. Does MP3tag show the files as they should be ordered? Does your player show the files in the correct order (except it is the Windows Media Player which has the same bug)? If that is so …

Hi MotleyG, I use only titel, track, interpret and album. I remove everything else like CD, year and so on.

I mostly use VLC player on the PC and it shows the right order same as MP3tag does but it takes only the title number into consideration and this is in the right order. On the mobile especially Apple devices they often use the track number internally which messes up the order of tracks. One genera…

[image] Superlutz: Mp3tag, isn't it so shoulnd't write different numbers into the field. MP3tag write the correct numbers into the field. Decimal numbers. It is the Windows explorer that takes 3 digit-numbers with leading numbers as octal values.So the decimal number 8 appears twice - once f…

Ok, thx. Think we can close this thread.

see this thread

and look for the explanation on "octal numbers".
It's a bug in the Windows explorer.
