ID3v2 has special [TXXX](http://www.id3.org/id3v2.3.0#head-29e37534e169ad913deb6a4fee345028f3db7c3f) (user defined) fields, which allow you to have fields of any name. In Mp3tag, if a name doesn't map to one of its recognized four-letter frame names, then Mp3tag will create a TXXX frame with that description. So you _can_ write things like 'Catalog #' or "Catalog Number'. This is commonly how ReplayGain fields are written to ID3v2 tags - TXXX frames with descriptions of REPLAYGAIN\_TRACK\_GAIN, REPLAYGAIN\_ALBUM\_GAIN, etc..

You can read the ID3v2.3 and 2.4 specs [here](http://www.id3.org/Developer_Information), but they've been extended quite a bit with de facto standards by applications, mostly iTunes. There's no mention of a frame to store catalog numbers. Googling around a bit, I can't find anything suggesting a de facto standard, either. It seems that most often it's written into the comment (COMM) field.
