Downloading with --direct not setting track number about odmpy HOT 4 CLOSED

Can you try with --overwritetags?

--overwritetags did correctly set the track number.
Is this expected behavior then? Use --overwritetags if you want tracknumbers on --direct downloads?

Both --direct and odm-based downloads should have the same problem.

Originally, by design, odmpy doesn't write over any existing tag if there is a value in place. So if you don't see any track number in the ID3 tags, it's very likely that the original downloaded mp3 had some kind of a value in the tag but it may not be a valid ID3 track number value.

Before --overwritetags was introduced, there was no way to change this behavior. The option simply forces odmpy to ignore the original safeguard and write over existing tags. That is probably why the track number ID3 tag now shows up with the option.

Sounds good, I'll add --overwritetags to my normal workflow.
