Save total tracks as metadata tag #200

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Most music formats support a "Total Tracks" tag.  It would be some
extremely simple math to automatically generate this tag.

Will you or anyone else spare me the search how these tags should be added? 
I've looked 
for lame, but I didn't see it listed.

I looked at how foobar2000 does it, and it just puts something like "1/13", 
"2/13",
and so on in the TRCK field.  The media players I use (including RockBox, 
Rhythmbox,
mplayer, etc) handle this fine.

Note, that's for id3 tags only.  Vorbis tags (used if FLAC, too) do it 
differently,
they have a TRACKNUMBER field and a TOTALTRACKS field.

Vorbis Comments do not define a standard "Total number of tracks" tag. It all 
depends on the player. I think the best way would be to have "TRACKTOTAL" 
instead of 
"TOTALTRACKS". To me, it makes more sense to use TRACKTOTAL as it matches 
TRACKNUMBER more than TOTALTRACKS does. The same goes for the number of discs 
in an 
album. "DISCTOTAL" makes more sense than "TOTALDISCS". When you look at all the 
tags 
in a file in alphabetical order, the disc tags would be together as well as the 
track-related tags. EasyTag seems to be one of the most popular and complete 
metadata editors for Linux and it uses the naming scheme I mentioned. Also, 
Foobar2000 can easily be configured to use separate tracknumber and tracktotal 
tags. 

It would also be nice if we could choose the tags we wanted to use via a 
configuration file. This would allow everyone to be happy as you could choose 
to use 
any method for a "total number of tracks" tag ("TRACKNUMBER=01/13", 
"TOTALTRACKS", 
or "TRACKTOTAL").

Fixed in r277. The disctotal metadata tag will be implemented when issue 154 
will be
solved. Currently the info is not available yet.
