Remove track# from title?

tjdzine · Post by **tjdzine** » Sat Mar 03, 2007 1:43 am

In MM standard edition, the track numbers show up as part of the track title as well as in their own dedicated track # column. Can I get rid of the track # that's part of the track title? It's not shown that way in the track properties dialogue window and it really clutters up the track title listings.

There are scripts around to help do this. This is one I found ( though never used ):

Check out the 'All Scripts' sticky in the Scripts and Components forum for any others that might do what you want.

Good luck.

This has been requested before and is probably on the wishlist.

@Guest: the track number in this case is only shown as part of the track title (e.g. Now Playing, album node, ...), but it isn't really part of it. So scrips won't help here.

Thanks for the info. Hopefully it's a refinement we'll see in the next release.

Ok, just noticed that this anomaly only shows up will viewing in the Album or Artist nodes. If viewing in the Title node, the track number is not part of the title. Wierd.

It's by design and quite logical. The numbering is used to quickly see where a track belongs in the Now Playing list or in an album or similar. There is no point in putting a number in the title field in the title node.

Actually, the issue at hand does not appear to have any effect or consequence on the way tracks are listed in the Now Playing window; the album track number is not attached to the title in the title field in the Now Playing list and the tracks are only numbered in the order that they are added to the Now Playing list. And, IMO, there is no logic in duplicating the track number in the title field, there is already a dedicated tag/field for track numbers.

My mistake - misinterpreted the question.
