FS#9329 - Remove total tracks and total discs from ID3v2 tags.
This patch removes any total tracks and total discs number from the track and disc number fields in ID3v2 tags, so that track and disc numbers are displayed consistently across different tagging formats.
What happens is that if a number larger than zero can be parsed from the start of the field, then the field is terminated on the first “/” char.
Added as a patch as I don’t know if this behavior is wanted.

Personally, I’d prefer to trust users to put the information in their tag that they want to be displayed.
Realistically, I expect more reports like the one that prompted you to post the patch rather than just use it yourself if we don’t include this behaviour.
Any chance you know of a specification somewhere that says the “Track” and “Disc number” fields are supposed to be numeric, or supposed to not contain total tracks, or anything else that would help justify this?

Not exactly what you hoped for.
I understand that “/ total” is wanted and this patch is incorrect
I think this should be closed - Lear?
If total is wanted, shouldn’t a totaltracks field be added then (and totaldiscs?), so that it can be displayed for non-ID3v2 formats too?
