Fair enough, but this should have been in a different patch though...

Why not.

Unfortunately, I disagree here.
The files having all of them are not crazy, the spec is crazy
(discussion are from 2003, and no decision was made????)

Having a muxer that adds the value to TRACKTOTAL, TOTALTRACKS and
WHATEVERTHELASTONEIS is an understandable idea, if you want all players
to display it.

It should merge them if they are of a similar value, because having 5,5
does not make sense, I think.

The reason there is a repetition in the end was because of
tracknumber=##/##.

Best regards,
