What ID3 Tags does Sonospy know? I want to sort by current track (ctr) - tag.

But I don't know how that field is called by sonospy.

can anybody help me?

Hi,

I don't recognise that tag. I don't really understand how a track could be tagged as current - in what context? Can you expand a little please.

Mark.

Hi Mark,

point to you. Never thought about it that way. :-)

In the ID3 Tags you have 'current track' (ctr) and 'total tracks' (ttr). If you have an album with 10 tracks the 3rd track has 'current track' 3 and 'total tracks' 10. stored in the Tags.

At the moment my albums don't have the tracks in the correct order and I'd like to change that.

Thanks,

 Sebastian

Are you sure those tags are ID3? There's a list of tags here: https://sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/TagNames/ID3.html

What type of files are you scanning?

Sonospy will find the track number tag (and store it as tracknumber, which you can sort on), from the various different ID3 versions/file types (so TRCK, trkn etc).

Mark.

Hi Mark,

I'll try that. I'm scanning mp3 Files. I guess ctr is just the shortcut in my program "Helium". I assume that TRCK could be the right one.

I'll try sort_order=tracknumber.
