Hi Florian, might be a good idea to add the possibility of predefined list for composers as already existing for genres

See e.g. here: [image] Artist, Composer and Year dropdown list General Discussion The genre section allows to add custom genres. Manually added genre can be selected through a dropdown list. Can the same be achieved in case of artist, composer and year field? (How man…

Only a composer list would be fine. I'm thinking of a lot more than 20 even up to 200 :slight_smile:

please, use the search function in this forum and see the numerous threads on this topic, e.g. this one: [image] Suggested Feature: Allow User To Add Items To Drop-Down Boxes General Discussion Hi I am currently adding tags to a lot of Latin America audio tracks. In the …

[image] Fla: add the possibility of predefined list for composers [image] poster: So if a solution is found in which both - a selection list and the usual tag panel solution - can coexist side by side without interference, go for it. Personally, I can only really imagine this with an opti…

A little help for beginners: it is easier to enter existing long lists this way. Use the EditPad Pro application. (OR: the attached below ZIP archive contains the natur + the converted text file -- of classical composers. OR: see LyricsLover's free solution below. By the way, you can even use his …
