Track Number Question

After converting my SP files in MarC's HiMD renderer to MP3s, I noticed that the track numbers are clearly labeled on the MP3s. Oddly, iTunes does not recognize the track numbers. Is that normal or did I forget to check something somewhere? I've been manually typing in all the track numbers for iTunes; is there a work around for that?

The Label , or File name , is different from what is called an iD3 tag , which is embedded in the MP3 itself , that is the file that iTunes wants to see. If an iD3 tag has not been created , iTunes wont see it .

If you import these files to iTunes ( in iTunes prefs deselect import to iTunes folder , and the files will stay where they are ) then you can edit them individually and give them iD3 tags , then iTunes will be able to sort them and place them in a group instead of individual files saying "unknown artist "

You can highlight a bunch of files in iTunes and tag them all simultaneously with Album, Artist, Year, etc. by clicking Get File Info. But I think track numbers have to be done individually.

There's also mp3 tagging software like mp3tag at http://www.mp3tag.de/en/ Don't know if it would be of any help with this, though it says it will "import tags from filenames."
