How can I assign a number to a specific word? for example, I'm trying to display the iTunesAdvisory tag (basically it tells you if a song is the clean version or the explicit version) and the tag is stored with a value of 0 if the tag doesn't exist, 2 if it's clean, and 4 if it's explicit, I want to basically have mp3tag read that tag, and instead of printing a 4, I want it to print "Explicit", how can I do this?
Also, I'm trying to create a custom column in MP3Tag, that will tell me if a song is explicit, clean, or unknown.

You could use the function
$replace()
for that display.
E.g. you define a new column and enter as ""value"
$replace(%advisory%,2,Clean,4,Explicit)
(%advisory% stands for the real name of the field)
Do not enter anything for "Field" if you want to keep the contents of the original field.

The field's name is ITUNESADVISORY in Mp3tag. I've also noticed that recent versions of iTunes also use 1 for marking explicit content.
So to define the column ohrenkino is referring to, you could use
$replace(%itunesadvisory%,0,None,1,Explicit,2,Clean,4,Explicit)
