Greetings, all, I am new here, and am glad I have found place where I hope I can get some help. I have been using mp3 tag a while now to edit and tag my flac files. I have two questions about this; Q#1: I noticed and this has always kind of bugged me, but have not known how to deal with it. Whe…

Just noting in case that is not known: The field names for Vorbis tags (as used by FLAC) are by definition case-insensitive, so "artist", "Artist", "ARTIST" or even "aRtIsT" should be considered all the same field. But as not all software handled this properly it has become kind of the standard for…

Ok, I saw the link to a previous thread, and tried it. I went into the view tab > Customize Columns, from here I do not see a field-name among all the others, so do I add a new column and then add in; %Fieldname% to get it to show how I want it to? Edit, I tried this, and it did not work, is there…

If you want to see a new column with the content of the field with the name "Upc", you have to add it in exact the same way you want to write it back into your files. For example, if you want to write back the tag field name (not the content!) in all UPPERCASE letters, you would define the new colu…

Thank you for this, this helps somewhat. But how do I get mp3 tag to not capitalize all the rest of the field names? Do I go through all the rest of the tag elements in those columns, and specify what case I want them in with the percent signs on either side for them all? like in the screenshot jus…

There are two different cases: a) If you look at the tag field names with ALT + T you will always see them in UPPERCASE. There is no hint, how these tags are currently written in the files b) If you define your columns by yourself, you can specify the syntax as you want. But - as @phw already wro…

Ok, thank you for taking the time with the screen shots. Maybe I will just leave the rest alone and just ad in the UPC and IRSC as shown here, and leave the rest alone. I will then just have to do a case conversion of everything after I edit like I have done. If I just do those column elements, wil…

[image] missmusic: I will, I do not want to break anything. Mp3tag does not touch the audio part of the files. As long as you do your changes inside Mp3tag, you can not break the song (audio part) itself. [image] missmusic: If I just do those column elements, will that make them less rea…

Should I go back to all my other flac albums and change the filed-names of them to all upper caps? or just leave them as I had set them up, which was with mixed or capital case lettering, with UPC in caps?

If you don't have any problems displaying the existing metadata in your applications and devices, I would not change the tag field names.
