Hi Akhlan, > [@Akhlan](#): > > but this field is always empty You can check whether this file has the MIXARTIST field at all via the extended tag dialog at [Alt+T]. Kind regards Florian ---

For example, for the album "Tutu" of "Mile Davis", the filed "MIXARTIST" exist on Discogs ![](http://www.zupimages.net/up/16/07/y5ea.png) but when I tag the album, the field "MIXARTIST" is always empty on mp3tag ![](http://www.zupimages.net/up/16/07/cqhl.png) Why ? ---

> [@Akhlan](#): > > What's "extended tag dialog" ? Well, you might wander through the various menus and find a function like "Extended tags...". Give it a try. Alternatively, press Alt-T to open it. Check the list of tag fields you find in a file without MXIARTIST and see if you find an entry for that field. If there is not entry for MIXARTIST then MP3tag cannot display anything. What happens if you enter data in the column MIXARTIST? Does it stay there? ---

> [@Akhlan](#): > > and if I put "MIXARTIST" manually, it disappears Generally, you have to input some data in a field as empty fields are not allowed. It could be that you do not have the right mapping for Vorbis comments. See e.g. this page for the mapping: [http://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/index.php?title=Tag\_Mapping](http://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/index.php?title=Tag_Mapping) There is a Mix-DJ (maps to DJMIXER) and a Mix Engineer (maps to Mixer) So, see File\>Options\>Tags\>Mapping and create a new entry e.g. Source:Mixer Target: MIXARTIST and see if it does what it should ---
