[Fabienne Thibeault – Profil – Vinyl (Gatefold, LP, Compilation), 1980 [r4932518] | Discogs](https://www.discogs.com/release/4932518-Fabienne-Thibeault-Profil)

This album on Discogs has "Lyrics by" and "Music by" tags under every song title.

How can I import or manually input these tag categories in MP3TAG? The closest tag I found was "Composer" but I dont think that's quite the same.

You can assign them to any of the fields suggested here already. You can also create your own custom field name if you wish such as WRITER.

However keep in mind that most library management programs and players only support the display of the typically "standard" fields. As such any data like this that gets saved into your music files is only going to be useful in very few places, like mp3tag.

@Hypersky75 Or do you ask how to get the metadata from Discogs ("Lyrics by" and "Music by") into the Metadata Album in the upper right corner of Mp3tag - as result of the used Websource Script?

That's it! I supposed they're just different words that mean the same thing.

I'll use LYRICIST for "Lyrics by", and COMPOSER for "Music by".

Thanks!
