I was just about to comment on this, but saw that it was
already a reported bug. I thought that I would add (just for
clarification) that this _is_ happening. I have confirmed
that ogg files with the 'tracknumber' comment field declared
still show a blank under the track number listing in iTunes.
I do not know, however, know whether the maxtrack field was
_ever_ a tag of the mp3 (which I am accustomed to dealing
with) or if iTunes interprets it when multiple tracks are
imported at once.
In any case, it would be nice to see this taken care of. I
would like to re-rip my music library to the ogg format, but
if iTunes doesn't know the track numbers, it just makes me
feel dirty. ;)

I've read elsewhere that this is actually an iTunes bug. If
you open a Vorbis file in QuickTime Player, then press
Command-J to open the Movie Properties window, you'll see
that QuickTime does indeed see the Track Number annotation.
It's just that iTunes never asks for it.

i also get this... it is so annoying that it almost makes the ogg support
unusable. i seem to be able to see track numbers if i use a new id3tag, so
i'm seeing about reparsing all my ogg files on the CL to see if that fixes it.
at the very least there should be a hack to fix this if no elegant solution
exists

I should mention, I would use iTunes if it weren't for this
bug, I'm almost sure. The only other ogg problem is the
slight delays with ogg files, but I can live with that.
This bug prevents me from playing albums (most of my albums
are ogg), which makes iTunes almost useless to me.

It would also appear that the year tag is missing even
though it is in the Ogg file. I'm using 1.0d8 with iTunes 4.6.
