Many are using `MEDIATYPE` for that, but it is also used for the actual media (e.g., CD or Digital Release). If you want to distinguish even further, you can use a custom field like `RELEASETYPE`.

It also very much depends on where you want to use this data.

Hi is MEDIATYPE is common and can read by other player or it is rare to use by player? Thanks for the answers.

I'd say it's rarely used, but to be sure you can just make a little experiment with the player you're using.

Yes, exactly. And you can add it to the Tag Panel via _File → Options → Tag Panel_ and the file list via _View → Customize columns_.
