Hello,

Perhaps this wonderful program allows the following operation. Foobar2000 has a plugin that allows you to write the Dynamic Range DR value into the metadata of both individual tracks and in the album.  
Indeed, when I open the Extended Tags section of mp3tag, I find these two values  
as shown below:

I'm wondering if it's possible to automatically add DR10 to the end of the album title, so that it looks something like this: "A Dead Poem (DR10)" or "A Dead Poem - DR10."  
Thank you for your help.

See the basic technique in the FAQs:

> [@Actions and batch-operations](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/actions-and-batch-operations/967/5):
>
> How to append the string " xyz" to the content of a tag field? Create a [new action](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/actions/967/2) in an existing action group and choose Format value as action type. Field specifies the tag field the formatting rule should be applied to. Format string must have the field placeholder for the field selected above and the string which should be appended. Example: If you want to append the string " xyz" to the current value of the comment field: Action type: Format value Field: COMMENT Format string: %com…

Use as  
Format string: `%album% (DR %dynamic range%)`

Thanks, great, it works! One complication: if the album consists of 2 CDs and each CD contains the respective Dynamic Range DR value in the tags. Each CD is in a CD1 and CD2 folder, is it possible to include both in the album title? Something like: "A Dead Poem (DR7-12)", or "A Dead Poem (DR7-DR12") or similar, thanks

That has to be done manually. MP3tag does not compare the data of different files (and remembers it).
