I am wondering if there is a way to have the file explorer in Linux Mint to show the track numbers for mp3's? Any help or information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

G'day Dave, Welcome to Linux.org

I can understand wanting to number your mp3's. Mine are sorted by name only.

I have 1257 mp3 tracks, stored in folder on an external drive which is formatted ext3/4

If I right click in an open space in amongst those those tracks I see the below:

So, I do not see an easy way to get what you are after.

However, there will be others with more knowledge than myself will undoubtedly see your post.

Be patient, this is an international site and timezones vary widely.

I don't want to but the track number as part of the song title. I would like a seperate number column.
 
..the file explorer in Linux Mint..

@DaveB you should probably tell us which Linux Mint version, and the DE (Desktop Environment)

The File Managers differ.

Cinnamon - Nemo

MATE - Caja and

Xfce - Thunar
