So for example Discosogs "Sandstorms" by Carl Craig described as `5-B` would [most likely] be [as I have not listens to that album] described in my system as 1.9. and If I were to keep it together in one file with the next track "Squirrel Bait" by Daniel Bell], I would describe it as 1.9-10 Such approach of course would be hard to integrate with automatic download of tags from database and it has some limitations in regards to some formats [[[X] Can't copy some unusual TRACK tags from MP3 / FLAC to WMA](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/x-cant-copy-some-unusual-track-tags-from-mp3-flac-to-wma/17714)] --- _[View the full topic](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/track-listings-from-discogs-mess-up-track-numbering-under-certain-circumstances/48026)._
