Any Way to Override "Catalog #" to "CatalogNumber" Tag Label Mapping?
I am a long time user of the CD Ripper app. I am in the process of building a new PC and upgraded to the latest Windows version of CD Ripper (2026-01-31) to use with it. The most recent version I was using on my old PC was 16.6.
Using the new version, I noticed that the "Catalog #" field that I was populating prior to a CD rip was mapped to "CatalogNumber" in the resulting ripped files (flac). I eventually came across the release notes for 2024-09-30 on this site asserting that this was a designed change.
I would obviously like to maintain consistency with the large volume of flac files already tagged in my collection with respect to this tag, whether I keep the tag label as "Catalog #" or adopt "CatalogNumber" or a different label moving forward.
I first wish to understand if there is any way that, as part of the ripping process, there is a way to override the mapping to "CatalogNumber", i.e, if there is any way that when the files are actually ripped, they contain a tag with the "Catalog #" label. I know I can manipulate the tag afterwards, but the least impacting means would be if it can be done as part of the ripping process.
I tried various approaches using the ID Tag Processing action, but to no avail. I thus assume that either the "Catalog #" to "CatalogNumber" mapping occurs after ID Tag Processing is applied, or that ID Tag Processing doesn't have access to manipulate "CatalogNumber".
Alternatively, if there is a user option I missed that inhibits this mapping, please inform me. Frankly, without a different means to avoid or override this mapping, I would have expected such an option to be included so those like me would not have to apply an alternate solution outside of CD Ripper.
Thank you.
