Hi
```
Great program , very handy but i'm in the dark on the extended tags and writing them to the mp3.
```
I can see all the extended discog tags, everything is there but the only data it writes to the mp3 is :
year, artist , title, album etc. Standard.
I would like to be able to put in the DISCOGS\_CATALOG into comment or somewhere else. I can't for the life of me work it out. I can see the discogs\_catalog and everything else in the extended panel window i just can't get it into the mp3. Confused.
I might add that i've changed the tag options to write ID3v2 etc, still no joy.
thanks

If you see it in the Extended Tags view, it **is** written in the mp3.
from the [FAQs](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/965/2):
**You can also add additional file list columns for extended tag fields via View \> Customize Columns... and edit the tag fields directly in the file list.**
**You can also add more tag fields to the tag panel via File \> Options \> Tag Panel.**
to get DISCOGS\_CATALOG it COMMENT:
Action: Format Value
Field: COMMENT
Formatstring: %discogs\_catalog%
Or you might try out my web script which you can edit in such a way that the catalog number is directly written into the COMMENT field:
