I asked about this as a side question in another thread: Compilation = 1 based on string content possible? - #3 by npx
To repeat the request: would it be possible to have a setting in Mp3tag which allows for it to "assume" the correct track number out of the number of total tracks in the tag source list?
I.e. Mp3tag loads the tag source list with 7 lines. I move my single song to row 5 because it is track 5 on the album. Mp3tag now automatically sets the TRACK field to "5/7" when I click save. See image.
The reason for this is that I am editing many songs which are not in complete albums and in this case the track number assistant is not very helpful, I'll have to manually add track and total tracks in the fields. I can just as well do that in the tag field directly if I add only one song (where all other songs are missing).
Even in the case of a complete album (with all tracks available) it would save time because the track number assistant wouldn't really be needed if the data is correct.
It may be a bit of a niche case and I am aware it can be prone to errors (in the case of multiple discs etc) and generally complicate things ... but maybe as a setting?
This request/question is maybe not Mac specific, so feel free to move it if this is the wrong section.
