For [my script for mixesdb.com](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/8404/1) I would like to display the file details from [mixesdb.com](http://mixesdb.com) in the \_LENGTH field of the "adjust tag information" dialog.
I found out by testing that \_LENGTH is only displayed when there are more than one track. And that has the consequence that Mp3Tag writes tracknumbers into TRACK. But I don't want to overwrite the existing tracknumber, because dj sets are most of the time single mp3 files and TRACK is (miss)used by many podcasts to count their episodes.
**So my question:**
Is there a way to set TRACK back after using _outputto "TRACKS"_?
_set "track"_ does not work
_set "tracks"_ works but is useless as it disables the view of \_LENGTH
Or is there any other way to display \_LENGTH or any other dummy field which is not written into the tags? I tried _outputto "DUMMY"_, but that does not work in the way I would have favoured.
This is the script part I used to get the file details into \_LENGTH:
```
findline "> File Details <"
joinuntil ""
outputto "tracks"
sayoutput "title"
say "|"
outputto "_length"
killtag "*"
RegexpReplace "File Details.*dur.*MB.*kbps (.*?) (.*?) (.*?) " "$1min - $2MB - $3kbps"
sayrest
say "|"
outputto "tracks"
sayoutput "title"
say "|"
outputto "_length"
say "1"
say "|"
```

I don't think there's a solution.
