OK, I see. I didn't know that ID3 stores "01/10" in the track tag
instead of having one for "track number" and one for "total tracks".

So I really think that MPD should filter out that extra data and
leading zeros, like you suggested. It should not be limited to the
track tag, because it's the same for disc number.
Any chance to change that in MPD?

Best regards,
Andreas
