    Edit ID tag - Adding to default list of new tags

    I have a few custom tags that I use regularly, and it would be nice to have them so up as defaults in the list of tags when I go to add a new tag.

    If I create a new custom tag in a single instance of the ID Tag Editor session, it will stay on the list as long as I'm in that session/instance. However if I close it and move to a new session/instance, then it's gone.

    Is there a way to edit the default list of possible new tags? So that those I use regularly can always be there?

    If not, then I'd like 6to request exposing that list as a customization option in the advanced options section of the main control center. Either the complete list or even just a shorter list of custom tags always to include.

    Thanks,
    Peter S

    Open Windows File Explorer and into the address bar type:

    %appdata%\dBpoweramp

    edit the file 'DefaultTagEdit.txt'

    add your new tags to the end.

      So when I typed
      %appdata%\dBpoweramp
      into the address bar I just get an error.
      I guess I can just create the folder and file myself, but I don't know what the content of the file is supposed to look like.
      I use Release 16.6.

        Hi, thanks for the quick answer!

        The option in dBpoweramp Control Center is not there for me.
        And I had tried just putting in a tag name per line, put it resulted in one tag field which had some chinese (?) characters.

        BUT now there was a genres.txt in the folder too, so I copied that one over, renamed it and wrote the tag names in there, now it's working.
        Seems the file must have it's encoding set to UTF-16 Little Endian (that's how Notepad++ shows it atleast)
