I use iTunes as my music player (on Windows). iTunes has a “Work” tag that I populate. When I import my music library into mp3tag, things mostly work. The tag shows up in the main display and I can filter on it.

However when I try to export the data the “Work” tag does not show up. The output of the export does have a Work column, but it is always blank. Here is my export configuration:

```auto
$filename(txt,utf-16)Title$char(9)Artist$char(9)Album$char(9)Track$char(9)Year$char(9)Work$char(9)BPM
$loop(%\_filename_ext%)%title%$char(9)%artist%$char(9)%album%$char(9)%track%$char(9)%year%$char(9)%work%$char(9)%bpm%
$loopend()

```

Another odd thing is that I cannot add the Work tag to the Tag Panel. I don’t really care about the Tag Panel, but it may be a hint to solving this.

I hope someone can help.

Can you check the extended tag dialog at **View → Extended Tags...** AltT for the field name?

The `WORK` field is only available for MP4 tags. For ID3v2, what is filled in the Work Title in iTunes is currently displayed as field `CONTENTGROUP` in Mp3tag. The developers at Apple decided to reuse this ID3v2 field which was previously used to store what is filled in Grouping.

That worked like a charm. Thank you very much Florian.
