file info tip incorrect for mp3 track numbers

Post by JustMe »

Hi. Took me awhile to find out why this was happening. But when the track number goes over 255 then the pop-up file info tip shows it as 0.
Works ok from 0-255. Please fix.
I know that back when we all had CDs 255 was a large number but these days with streaming services I can have up to 1000 tracks in a playlist.
Thanks JM

For all I know that value is limited to 0-255 by the ID3 tag format itself.

The track number shows up correctly if I create a custom column for track #, also correct in the file info panel, meta tag. And it displays correctly in the Windows properties. So I don't think its a limit of the ID3 tag. The only place it is incorrect is in the file info pop-up. Thanks.

I tried to attach a file but it either tells me invalid type for mp3 or file size too large for zip. But you can go into any MP3 file windows property and change its track number to bigger than 255 to see the bug.
