Inconsistency between FLAC and MP3 track number tags
AlexP:
Total tracks is a different field, which isn't read. At the moment it is reading the total tracks from the track number field as it is e.g. 1/14. Of course, it isn't reading total tracks per se, it is just displaying track number as 1/14. Lear is saying that tracknumber shouldn't be displayed as 1/14 - rockbox should ignore / and anything after it, and therefore just display 1 for track number.

Well sure. I am also just saying it needs to be consistent. Either display the "x/y" for all formats or just "x". It comes down to preference which one you would prefer.
EDIT: Is there any way to view metadata tags of music files in the state they actually are (unparsed)? Foobar2000 shows the mp3 fields TOTALTRACKS and TRACKNUMBER rather than showing just TRACKNUMBER as "x/y".

And this is exactly what Lear said he had done personally and was thinking f preparing a patch for - remove the /y from e.g. MP3 and just display x for all formats.

Well Foobar2000 uses TOTALTRACKS but the actual stored values it uses for MP3 is X/Y in one field (it just uses the Y value for TOTALTRACKS & X for TRACKNUMBER). Try doing it manually & you'll see what I mean. Newer formats like Vorbis & FLAC have their own fields for the total number of tracks, like TOTALTRACKS. MP3 doesn't have a separate field for it so the standard way has been to put it in the field track numbers go in along with a slash.
