    Custom Tag

    Apologies in advance but this is long-winded to ensure I am not misunderstanding something.

    I have used DBpoweramp (DBPa)for a long time and recommend it to everyone - thanks for awesome product.

    1 - I want to add a new tag to every CD that I rip automatically with DBPa.
    2 - The tag's name is Collection and the value I want auto-entered is MEH (I will on the odd occasion I need to edit the tag value if for some reason this is incorrect for a specific album)
    3 - The principle is attractive and I would likely use it for other tags over time if I can work it out.
    4 - I took a look at the help etc. and I thought I could do this with the custom tag option.
    5 - I tried it and it looks as if it is doing what I want in the settings. i.e. It seems to make sense in that it asks me for a tag name and the data.
    6 - I saved it (And I can see it in the settings now)
    7 - I closed the program and restarted just in case (it as still there in settings)
    8 - I then ripped a CD expecting the new tag to be showing on the files but I can't see it showing in the tag list when I open it to edit/view?

    I am guessing I am misunderstanding something? Apologies for my dumbness.

      Hi thanks for the response.

      FLAC file

      The tag 'name' is Collection and that is literally what I typed in. I didn't type in <Collection> - did I do that wrong?

        At first glance there could be an issue, for now you can use the DSP Effect 'ID Tag Processing' and add the tag there.

          Actually my issue was that the metadata came from the cache, clicking refresh added the custom tag, and it was listed on the 'Tags' tab, where it was written to the FLAC file.
