Hi all,

How do I add "Album Artist" and "Track Artist" tags? I need them for albums containing various artists.

Also, what is the difference between these tags and the "Artist" tag?

Thanks 🙂

The standard Artist field you see in the Tag Panel is the normal Track Artist. If you want to edit the Album Artist, just add a field **BAND** at Options \> Tag Panel or add a new column to the file list using this field.

You can also edit this field via the ![:mt_tag:](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/1X/e7edc735a96d8d241c37593e98667ab3dc20c6b6.png ":mt\_tag:") Extended Tag Dialog.
