Hey guys, so I've been using the program to edit my FLAC collection and for the most part, it's fine, however, there are some files where I remove the track number, however, on other tagging programs the track number is still showing up. It also shows up on my phone when I use USB Audio Player. There are also some files where the track number does not show up on other tagging programs but it shows up on my phone anyway. On MP3Tag itself, the "track number" entry is blank, but this is clearly not the case. ---
