ive been working on my own export config but i ran into a wall...

for example... An album has 12 total tracks but i have only 5 tracks in my library...

**ALBUM NAME**

1. Song Title One
2. Song Title Three
3. Song Title Four
4. Song Title Seven
5. Song Title Ten

_Yeah.. Looks extremely easy to export it this way..._

But... What if...

**ALBUM NAME**

1. Song Title One
2. MISSING TRACK
3. Song Title Three
4. Song Title Four
5. MISSING TRACK
6. MISSING TRACK
7. Song Title Seven
8. MISSING TRACK
9. MISSING TRACK
10. Song Title Ten

Another Prob, not all track nos. are in the xx/XX format. So i was thinking that the number of loops would be the highest track number (in my files). Like in this case, it would stop the loop at 10.

Any Idea????

I use an empty mp3 dummy file properly renamed to fill the places.  
[Dummy.mp3](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/2X/3/3cc59d3f8e24c8d18c90c47496373dab1b2012cf.mp3) (2.13 KB)

Will work... But... If you deal with hundreds of missing tracks, it wouldnt be nice... Since you have to manually place the dummy.mp3 in the each of the album's folder.

And also... you have to rename each dummy.mp3 track nos for each specific album...

Need another suggestion using only export/scripting functions.
