Hi I have a requirement where a collection of songs have existing genre like "Rock", "Rock/Pop", "Pop" etc. I want to select all of them and add a custom genre like "Audio CD" Is there a way to achieve this? ---

Select all of them, then Menu Convert Tag -\> Tag Field: GENRE Format string: %GENRE% Audio CD How do you use such different genres in one Tag? Are you sure that you don't want an additional custom Tag for "Audio CD" (which is not an official Genre anyway)? ---

Hi @LyricsLover I use Roon.. Even though I add a custom tag for Audio CD it will not be recognised by Roon. I have a similar issue. I created the tag %LYRYCIST%, but Roon puts it under %COMPOSER%. ---

Mp3tag is the universal Tag Editor. Also, there is a tag field MEDIATYPE ... perhaps that is read by your player. > **[Tag Field Mappings – Mp3tag Documentation](https://docs.mp3tag.de/mapping/#mediatype)** > > Overview of all available tag fields, their names in Mp3tag, and how they are mapped to the internal structures of the different tag formats. Mp3tag is the universal Tag Editor. (even though the preview suggests that I linked the same thing twice, the links actually lead to different descriptions) ---

> [@navarannan](#): > > I created the tag %LYRYCIST%, but Roon puts it under %COMPOSER%. In addition to @ohrenkino's advice to use LYRICIST, it seems to be "by design" from Roon to show LYRICIST content as COMPOSER (as many other too): [https://kb.roonlabs.com/Roon\_Credit\_Roles#Composer\_Roles](https://kb.roonlabs.com/Roon_Credit_Roles#Composer_Roles) You could ask in the Roon forum why this should be beneficial. ---

@LyricsLover & @ohrenkino My apologies. I was indeed using %LYRYCIST%. Yes it shown up under COMPOSER 🙂 ---
