inserting info in a custom column

[Dpmusicbee]

Hi,

i have a couple of custom columns that i like to add data into from mp3tag without doing them manually. is there an easy way that anyone know of doing this in musicbee please? or am i outta luck! Thank You Dp

As long as the info is being written into a custom tag (TXXX/TagName for MP3s, I think FLAC is just TagName) MusicBee should be able to read it. You will need to configure it Define New Tags before it will show up in the MusicBee interface, but you can first check in the Tag Inspector to make sure MusicBee sees it and what field it's in.

thanks for the input i'm insure as to how to bring up tag inspector. these are custom columns i setup but unsure if they are in the metatag info. i wipe my library and now theses columns are empty.

Vincent,

Thanks for the link i kinda understand it, do you need to have virtual info set for each custom field or can that be blank. my fields are Rec & Re-Rec.

First you define the custom tag in MusicBee.
Secons, if you have them already populated in MP3tag, do a file  rescan inside Musicbee to populate the tags.

i define the tags in musicbee and rescan no populate happen blank columns in musicbee. i'm guessing manual input now.

Please post your custom tag configuration and if possible a shot of the tag inspector with your custom tag. We can probably help you figure out where it's not connecting everything.

Open the Tag Editor and the Tag Inspector is in the menu bar.

You will need to upload your images to a hosting site like imgur. You can find instructions here (this is also linked from the page where you type in your post): https://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=29488.0

i'm sorry do you click on a file to get to the tag editor?

Yes, the tag editor is what you get when you right click and choose "edit" on a track. Or select and hit Shift+Enter.
