Is there a list of the Mp3tag \<\> FLAC fields mappings somewhere? Like the "Names and mapping of ID3v2/WMA tag fields" in the Help, but for FLAC. Thanks.

No, at the moment there exist exactly three mappings YEAR =\> DATE, TRACK =\> TRACKNUMBER, and PUBLISHER =\> ORGANIZATION. I think about removing the mapping of PUBLISHER but have not decided yet.

For every other field, the name you use within Mp3tag is also used in the tag.

Thanks. Suggestion: add this info to the existing tags table.

Aha. That would explain why I couldn't get Mp3tag to store DATE in .flac.

Any reason why Mp3tag doesn't store its DATE in .flac's DATE?
