Full Version: Discnumber tag character restriction
Foobar 0.9.4.2 doesn't allow me to put non-english characters into the DISCNUMBER field in tags from mp3 files, intead it replaces them (é to e ¿ to ?, etc). This doesn't happen on tags of ogg or flac files.

The DISCNUMBER field is mapped to the TPOS frame in ID3v2.4 tags which is specified as follows:
Basically, there is no guarantee that foobar2000 will let you store non-numeric data in the DISCNUMBER field when using ID2v2.4 tags.

TPOS
The 'Part of a set' frame is a numeric string that describes which
part of a set the audio came from. This frame is used if the source
described in the "TALB" frame is divided into several mediums, e.g. a
double CD. The value MAY be extended with a "/" character and a
numeric string containing the total number of parts in the set. E.g.
"1/2".

Thanks, I'll guess I'll have to create a field for putting the disc name and modify the script :_)
