iTunes fucks up all my music tags. Could I get some common Tags that aren't included in mp3tag,
such as Album Artist, and Composer.
I need the Value and Field.
Thanks

In the above picture:
**Name:** the name appears in the header of the column, e.g. Album Artist
**Value:** the name of the field you want to display, e.g. %band% for album artist (from the table by Florian's link)
**Field:** generally the same as the value above. If you directly edit the field in the columns, this field will be change, e.g. %band%. If you leave this field empty, you cannot edit anything in that column.
**Sort by:** generally the same as the value above. If you click the header of the column, the sort will created by this value. e.g. %band%. This field is useful, if you want to see The Beatles at the letter B (with a regexp function)-

Well, I'm not familiar in iTunes (to say the truth I hate it 😃 ), but the fifth column contains the fields used by iTunes, and the first column their MP3Tag names. Put a % at the beginning and at the end of the name, and you get the string you have to insert into that fields Value and Field.
