Tag field mappings
Tag fields in Mp3tag
This table below gives an overview of all ID3v2 / WMA tag fields available with Mp3tag,
their names in Mp3tag and their use in other programs.
You can edit
these tag fields through the 
extended tag
dialog, add custom field to the Tag Panel via 'Options > Tag Panel' or
customize the file list columns using these
field names.
Please note that fields of VorbisComments (used with FLAC, OGG, SPX) and of APEv2 tags are not mapped internally by Mp3tag but are displayed with their actual name.
User-defined field mappings
You can customize mappings from Mp3tag's internal field name to
a user-defined field name in case you need to make field names
consistent across different types of tags (e.g., BAND in ID3v2 and
ALBUM ARTIST in FLAC) via 'Options > Tags > Mapping'. There you can
create mappings for a specific tag type (APEv2, ID3v2, MP4, VorbisComment or WMA)
and provide a Source name (Mp3tag's internal name) and a target name (your
preferred field name).
After reading tags from files, Mp3tag translates all source field names
to their respective target (and vice-versa when writing tags).
