Possibly a stupid question, but I can't find the Options menu item in Files (or anywhere else), I only see Mp3Tag > Preferences.
The Options menu is referenced in the docs for a feature I really need, the ability to change/remove language from the comments tag, as rekordbox will actually display it as "eng=MyComment"
See Advanced – Mp3tag Documentation
Im using v1.8.20 (7-day trial still) on macOS 10.15.7 (Catalina)
Thanks!

This link goes to the documentation of the windows version.
This is the documentation for the Mac version:
AFAIK every ID3 comment field has a language token. So if
then this would be inadequate handling by rekordbox of the comment field
Yes, this would be the right place to look on a Mac
Thanks for the quick reply. So to summarise, the Mac version does not support the full set of configs (at least in the GUI) as implemented in the Windows version, correct?
In relation to these features: Advanced – Mp3tag Documentation
Is it possible to set the parameters in a config file somewhere on Mac, or via command-line? (I could not find info regarding this).
If not, I have found a command-line tool called "id3v2" which allows writing comments tags as follows:
-c, --comment "DESCRIPTION":"COMMENT":"LANGUAGE"
Set the comment information (both
description and language optional)
where description and language are optional, meaning if I run it as such:
id3v2 -c "My Comment"
it will display correctly in rekordbox. I realise this might be incorrect syntax (primarily for iTunes which I don't use). I've not found another way to make rekordbox display this in a clean fashion.
Yes, there is currently no way to set the ID3v2 language identifier explicitly. I've added a note to my internal wish list. As you suspected, iTunes expects eng as language identifier.
Glad you already found a solution to your problem!
OK thanks for the quick confirmation. I'll use id3v2 for my purposes, and hope that rekordbox will some day adhere to these standards. Thank you both!
