    Batch Converter losing track numbering

    I use mp3tag to edit the metadata on my music.
    I have copies of my music in
    FLAC Uncompressed
    FLAC level 5
    ALAC
    LAME
    I like to have my track number like 01/15 and discnumbering 1/1 or 1/2 etc.
    I usually make changes the the FLAC Uncompressed file then use Batch Converter to make a copy in the other 3.
    The issue I find is that for the conversion to FLAC Level 5 it always does not pass the track numbering over and
    its reverts to 1/15. that is not the way it was and I have to renumber it again.
    The ALAC doesn't care about track numbers with double digits.
    The LAME conversion works out ok.
    Is there something I'm doing wrong or ?
    Its been this way for as long as I can remember.
    Thanks

    It sounds like the issue is with how the FLAC encoder handles metadata during conversion, some versions strip the “xx/yy” style track numbers. A quick fix is to check your Batch Converter settings or run Mp3tag after conversion to auto-renumber so it stays consistent.

      Thanks for responding..only just noticed the response..I had given up..
      Only comment I have is that the track numbering xx/yy does not seem to affect when converting from FLAC to LAME..
      So not sure why??
      But again thanks for at least the response..Appreciated...
