Thanks for your examples @ohrenkino and @LyricsLover... 👍

I did a test with iTunes, as ohrenkino mentioned, iTunes stores them locally in a database on the PC, and the data doesn't appear in Mp3tag.

My question is, can we use a command in the Mp3tag program to retrieve the iTunes data from the PC's database and transfer it to Mp3tag?
