Style tag to Genre Field?

[Monkra]

Hi there,

I have been tagging all my MP3's using the discogs lookup function and I notice that it has a 'style' tag. I want to have this 'style' tag in place of my 'genre' tag in the files, is this possible?

Many thanks

Please note that STYLE is no standard tag field but a user-defined one - so, to see that your player would have to support user-defined tag fields.
It is not quite clear to me what you mean by

in place

You can set up the tag panel and the file list to display (also) the field STYLE.
If you want to copy the contents of STYLE to GENRE, use an action of the type "Format tag field" for GENRE
Format string: %style%

Map Discogs STYLE tag to GENRE

Is there a way to change the Discogs tag source so that it writes Discog's STYLE field to the files GENRE tag and does not write the Discogs GENRE tag to the file at all. I find the Discogs STYLE tag much more useful and detailed so it would be great if I could have that automated instead of having to do that manually! Thanks

Thank you for your help, that works well

You could check the extended tags dialogue and see whether you find the STYLE field there.
Or you could filter for the field
style PRESENT
or for the reverse list:
style MISSNG

See the documentation:

Filtering and Searching Files and Tags

The Filter field in Mp3tag's toolbar allows for searching files that meet a certain criteria (e.g., the filename contains specific characters or a tag field has a specific content). To filter the file list simply start typing in the filter field. As a result, all files that contain the specified filter string in their tag or filename are listed in the file list. Sometimes it is necessary to use more complex criteria to search for files (e.g., all files of a specific genre but not of that arti…

Thank you once more @ohrenkino

After checking the extended tags I see that the style tags were saved as 'contentgroup', so I can pull the data from there.

One final issue, in the extended tags, the publisher/label data is being saved as 'organization' and when I try to setup an action to place the 'organization' field into the 'publisher' field I cannot find organization in the extended tags options? Is there a reason why it is not there and any way I can pull teh organization data into the publisher field?

I cant thank you enough for your help so far

If you are missing a field name but you have seen it in the extended tags, then simply type it in.
