By default one of the fields in MP3Tag is Title, is there a way to create a 2nd Title field called "Title 2" or in the alternative, is there a way I can move the contents of the "Title Fields" to user created filed.. called "holdinfohere" in MP3TAG.
Why do I want to do this? I'm trying to get genre and tags on a bunch of remix tracks and because the tracks have extra info such as (djxyz, or discoedit), its hard for other programs to identify the track title in order to get the correct year and genre.
Create an action of the type "Format value" or use Convert>Tag-Tag for field HOLDINFOHERE (if that is not in the list, type it in)
Format string: %title%
Load the files that you want to treat.
Select the files that you want to treat.
Open Convert>Tag-Tag.
Set as Field HOLDINFOHERE.
Type in as Format string: %title%
This copies the contents of TITLE to HOLDINFOHERE
OK.. I followed the instructions below,but it does not put the contents of %title% into the HOLDINFOHERE tag
Load the files that you want to treat.
Select the files that you want to treat.
Open Convert>Tag-Tag.
Set as Field HOLDINFOHERE.
Type in as Format string: %title%
This copies the contents of TITLE to HOLDINFOHERE
am i'm suppose to add some type of value in the value tag?
Please show me Convert>tag-tag as a screenshot.
(I actually do not understand as you stated before
which means that the process was successful.
The converter does not create columns.
MP3tag never creates columns on its own. You have to add a new column.
And that is described in the linked documentation.
Now please show me the parameters that you entered to create the column.
Please note - from the documentation:
To configure a column, you need to provide a Name, which is the text that appears on the column header in the File List.
Value is required and denotes the content displayed in this column. It usually contains a placeholder, sometimes combined with scripting functions.
A simple example would be %ISRC%, the placeholder for the ISRC tag field. Another example would be $meta_sep(artist,\\), a format string that displays all existing ARTIST fields separated by Mp3tag multi-field separator \\
Field usually contains a placeholder that is used for editing the content of the field through the File List. Please note that if this field is empty, the column is write-protected. You can only use placeholders for tag fields (e.g. %ISRC%) as well as %_filename_ext% and %_filename% here.
you just lost me.. I have no clue what you mean by any of this. Can you show me an example of a column called HOLDINFOHERE and what values should be assigned so when copy the contents into the column they will display?
Select the files
Open the extended tags dialogue Alt-T

Click on the red X button or select the function "Remove" from the right-click menu.
