Invalid track numbers are displayed in Cantata instead of ignored

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Which version of Cantata?
r5687

I've noticed that some of my tracks have strange track numbers in Cantata, like 
65535 or 3000.  When I look at the file's tags with mediainfo, I see the track 
number as "-1".  I don't know how the track got set to -1 in the first place, 
but I guess Cantata should ignore such track numbers, as it appears to for disc 
and year numbers.

I don't understand what you mean.  I have about 20 GB of music files, and my 
collection would be small compared to many other people's.  Inconsistent and 
seemingly invalid tags (though not corrupt according to the file format) are a 
"fact of life" with digital music.  I gradually add to and fix tags as I listen 
to different music files now and then, but I'm not going to sit down for days 
on end and fix thousands of tracks' tags all at once, and I don't want to 
*have* to manually fix tags every time I add some new music to my library.

It just doesn't make sense for Cantata to take a Track tag that says "-1" and 
display it as "65535".  That's clearly a bug, as if it's wrapping around an 
unsigned int or something.  Any negative number should be ignored or 
interpreted as 0, because albums can't have track numbers less than 0; it would 
make no sense.

Do you see what I mean?

You are correct Cantata was converting -1 to 65535.
