@Steven,
Understanding that protocols for (mp3) tagging are often unclear and not very uniform between hard- and software, which makes it quite difficult to follow clear regulations, I wonder:
Do you intend to add support for (in my opinion sensible) fields like e.g.:
4.2.1 TLAN [#TLAN Language(s)]
4.2.1 TMED [#TMED Media type]
4.2.1 TOAL [#TOAL Original album/movie/show title]
4.2.1 TOLY [#TOLY Original lyricist(s)/text writer(s)]
4.2.1 TOPE [#TOPE Original artist(s)/performer(s)]
4.2.1 TPE1 [#TPE1 Lead performer(s)/Soloist(s)]
4.2.1 TPE2 [#TPE2 Band/orchestra/accompaniment]
4.2.1 TPE4 [#TPE4 Interpreted, remixed, or otherwise modified by]

see http://getmusicbee.com/help.html for the list of standard tags mapped
the others can be selected in the custom tags section of the Tags(1) preferences
-
Ok, thnx.
So there is no intention to add new fields. I will then 'sacrifice' custom fields for my purposes.
-
no, because it will just clutter up the screens with fields that most people wont be interested in
-
Ok.
Of course I respect your vision and consequency. That's one of the reasons that MB is such a great program.
Still personally I think it's a pity. Looking at how tiny the Tag Editor window is (on my display at least), and noticing that there is more than room enough for e.g. another tab, I think it would be a good opportunity to make MusicBee also standout and distinguish itself in this area.
-
What if you in preferences could tick checkboxes of which additional extra fields, of all possible, you want to have appear in the Tag Editor. These could then appear under a new tab in the Tag Editor.
That is if there is enough interest so that coding this feature would weigh more than for a few to sacrifice their custom tags.
-
I would like such an option very much.
Let's await and hope for some +1 replies on this matter.

I like the idea. Not that I use custom tags for more than an album header to separate albums/eps/singles etc but it does seem logical so +1
