> Hi - I was planning on adding some tags to genre on a number of albums, in order to easily be able to select and choose between my 24 bit and 16 bits albums. Can this be achieved with a script in MP3Tag? Add genre - keeping the existing genres (one, none or several). Thank you, Bjørn TOre

You can make the change by the action "Format value" or by the converter "Tag -Tag", for example ...

Convert | Tag - Tag | ALT+5

Select format string

Field: `GENRE`

Format string:  
`$if(%GENRE%,$meta_sep(GENRE,'\\')'\\',%DUMMY%)'Other Genre'`

Preview  
From:  
`Latin Jazz`  
To:  
`Latin Jazz\\Other Genre`

There is also the most simple way using the dialog "Extended Tags...":  
Select the group of files, open the dialog "Extended Tags...", add a new tag-field `GENRE` and fill in the proper genre value.
