Create my own ID-Tag

[Peter G]

I want to create my own ID-Tag. I use ROON Software which allows to import self created Tags from dBpoweramp. The Tag I want to implement is called "ROONALBUMTAG".
In PERECTTUNES V3.0 it worked perfectly. In V2024-6-10 it will work no more. When I want to add a new Tag and insert my shortcut "RT" a window opens with a long list of posibilities. but my "RT" is not recognized. By the way, here while I

You can type what ever tag you want into that box, however to help you going forward if you open Windows file explorer and type:

%appdata%\dBpoweramp

Into the address bar and add that tag to DefaultTagEdit.txt

That field will always be there ready to be entered

Hi Spoon,
I have no Windows. I have a Mac. What have I to do there?
Thank you in advance.

Typing "ROONALBUMTAG" and pressing enter works? You don't have to choose one from the list.

Editing DefaultTagEdit.txt works too: open Finder, Cmd+Shift+G, ~/Library/PerfectTUNES, locate DefaultTagEdit.txt

Hi Spoon,
Typing the tag "ROONALBUMTAG" and pressing enter works, yes. But I have to type this long word very often. Therefore I made a text replacement called "RT"in system settings of my Mac. -and while I am writing this here, my Mac wants to replace "RT" with "ROONALBUMTAG"-!!! But unfortunately PERFECTTUNES will not recognize this text replacement. Surprisingly in the box right to the tag "ROONALBUMTAG" I can fill in every text replacement I made in system settings of the Mac and it will be accepted.
I had a very old iMac and bought now a new Mac Studio and therefore I was able to update my old version of dBpoweramp and PERFECTTUNES to the latest versions. But now this replacement will work no more.
Are there files missing on my new Mac from PERFECTTUNES and from dBpoweramp too?
I am perplexed.

Ensure using latest version, DefaultTagEdit.txt open Finder, Cmd+Shift+G, ~/Library/PerfectTUNES, locate DefaultTagEdit.txt

Edit this file and add ROONALBUMTAG
