This works for lossless files but doesn't seem to work properly for MP3's. [https://imgur.com/a/L1C3XdT](https://imgur.com/a/L1C3XdT) Image 1 The MP3's seem to report being tagged as track number/total tracks Image 2 However looking at it in foobar shows that TRACK is only the track number, and total tracks is separate Image 3 It seems this applies to MP3's using normal track numbers as well Image 4 Is this perhaps an issue with the way foobar tags things and the way mp3tag tags/reads them? > [@Is there a tag for total track number? (iTunes: track 3 "of 10")](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/is-there-a-tag-for-total-track-number-itunes-track-3-of-10/19178): > > In iTunes, if I have an album of 10 tracks, my tracks will be numbered 1 to 10, but in the "Get Info" box for each track, it will say "Track 1 of 10," "Track 2 of 10," etc. It's that second number I'm wondering about. What if I have, say, 10 individual tracks from am album that actually has 11 tracks. What is the name for the tag to which that "11" refers, and can I modify that with mp3tag? Thanks. says %totaltracks% is the field, but this shows up as empty when I try to use it in mp3tag on both FLAC and MP3 Sorry, had to link to the imgur album since new users are limited to 2 links per post --- _[View the full topic](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/track-numbers-with-characters-to-filename/58556)._
