Ok, some of You help me very well. An other Question.  
In the Comment field I write the country of origin.

Example: Golden Earring - comment field: The Netherlands or NLD  
Animals comment field: United Kingdom or UK

Is it possible to adjust this field to, let say Country Origin?

Or is there a other solution?

For V2.3 tags it is possible to create user-defined fields with more or less any name - the disadvantage: hardly any player shows them.

To get a first user-defined field, open the extended tags dialogue (Alt-T)  
Click on the "new" button.  
Enter the field name, perhaps

> [@hannes1](#):
>
> Country Origin

Enter the value, e.g. NLD  
Click OK until all dialogues are closed.  
You can now add that field to the tag panel ([Tag Panel – Mp3tag Documentation](https://docs.mp3tag.de/customization/tag-panel)) and/or as column ([File List – Mp3tag Documentation](https://docs.mp3tag.de/customization/file-list)) in the file list.  
If you want to copy the contents from the field COMMENT to COUNTRY ORIGIN then try it with  
Convert\>Tag-Tag  
Field: COUNTRY ORIGIN (you have to type it in)  
Format string: %comment%
