How do i set the url field when converting to mp3?

[jdubois]

when converting to mp3 from .flac, i've mapped 'Url' from .flac to 'Url' for .mp3 but it never shows up. I did a test and mapped 'Url' to 'Composer' and it shows no prob but i can't seem to be able to set the 'Url' tag for the .mp3 file. I pulled the .mp3 file into winamp and manually set the Url field then opened the file in WMP and chose "Advanced tag editor", in there the url field looks like it's an array where you can add multiple websites and winamp simply shows only the first. Sooo... in the dbpoweramp convert tool, how do i map the .flac 'Url' to the .mp3's first 'Url' array? :smile2:

Hold the mouse over the mp3, does dbpoweramp show url?

yes it does but it also shows the other 4 custom fields that don't show up in the mp3 tags either

eg

Source: CD 623
Url: WWW.MYWEB.COM

Those are in the mp3?

those are some of what i see when i hover over the mp3 file itself.

But when i use an mp3 tag editor those don't show up including the url field.

I would say that mp3 tag editor cannot read those tags then.

grab a cd... pick a track and create an element called "Url" and put "www.test.com" in it.... rip that track to .flac.... then when it finishes, use the converter to convert that .flac to .mp3 using the lame encoder and map "Url" to "Url". load the resulting .mp3 file into winamp or WMP or ANY other tag editor and let me know if you are able to see the "www.test.com" in the URL field. If you can, then please let me know what i'm doing wrong.

Please and thank you.

ps. i'm also trying to set the "Subtitle" mp3 tag in the same way but I get the same results.nothing. :( (WMP editor will show you the subtitle field)

Any help would be much appreciated, I have 10'sof thousands of CD's to archive and i have to be able to set these fields.
