Custom ID-Tag in Asset for Linux

[Anna_Blume]

Hi,
99% of my music is classical. For proper organization I´d like to sort by opus numbers as well. In dBpoweramp I´ve included this custom tag already when ripping. How to tell asset in Linux (CentOS 7.3) to index for this custom field?

Another question is related to custom tags in PerfectTUNES (PT) (I´m running this on a windows 10 x64 machine). How to install custom tags in PT? Maybe I´d better open a new thread in PerfectTunes for this?
Here´s what I tried so far: ...\AppData\Roaming\PerfectTunes:
1) file "DefaultTagEdit.txt": adding new line "Opus" at the end
2) file "IDTagDatabaseFields.txt": adding new line "Opus,0,NVARCHAR(30)" at the end

Best regards

First of all, as your library is mostly classical, I suggest you adopt the new classical tags instead of your custom tag opus, which Illustrate has started to support.

These new classical tags are:
Work
Movement Count
Movement Number
Movement Name

Then, we can look at using these tags in Asset, PerfectTUNES etc.

Hi mville, thanks for instant reply. "Work" means the same as "Opus", so it´d be fine with me. I´m using dbpoweramp version 15, where to find / install the new tags? Included in version 16? Before having the discussion leading in the wrong direction: I have already ripped approx. 10.000 tracks including field "Opus". Changing a field will be possible, but seems to be some workload.

Yes, correct.

Do you have dBpoweramp Music Converter (and PerfectTUNES) installed on a Windows or Apple PC?

The new classical tags are supported in the latest R16.3 and are accessible in CD Ripper:

You can use the ID Tag Update utility codec >> Map >> Opus (mapped to) Work.

I suggest you backup your library then try this on a single album, until you are confident using the ID Tag Update utility codec.

Yes, Music Converter and PerfectTunes both run on the same W10 machine (x64).
Screenshot of R16.3 looks great, seems that´s exactly what I was looking for 2 years ago when I started ripping my CDs to FLAC format.
With the ID Tag update Codec utility I could map "Opus" to any ID tag I currently don´t use (and will never do so, e.g. "mood"). (I know, it´s more convenient to have direct access to a proper named field when ripping, but this is not the question here).

This again turns up the initial question:
How to get an ID tag indexed that is not indexed by default? Spoon explained for Windows in a sticky note. As I´m running Asset on Linux (CentOS 7.3, HP Microserver Gen8) I´d like to know how to get this done in my current setup.

You can map any tag to any tag, whether it is a known tag in the Illustrate software(s) or is a user custom tag. The tag data is copied to the mapped tag.

Why not map "Opus" to "Work"?

Understood. I have a custom tag working in Asset UPnP for Windows, but I am not sure how you would achieve this (or if it is even possible) in Asset UPnP for Linux.

FYI, this is how I got this working in Asset UPnP R6.1 for Windows, maybe this will help you:

1. I have a custom tag called LIBRARY. This tag is populated with flac for all my flac files and mp3 for all my mp3 files.

2. Find MediaDatabaseFieldsv5.txt
(mine was here, C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\dBpoweramp\uMe diaLibrary)

add the following line at the bottom of the MediaDatabaseFieldsv5.txt file and Save:
library,0,INTEGER

3. In Asset UPnP Configuration >> Advanced Settings >> Browse Tree
I have added a New container called Library (tick NO Track Listing) as a Child of 'Root', then all the sub containers as Child of 'Library'. OK this, Restart Asset and click OK again, to exit Asset UPnP Configuration.

Now, in Asset Control I get 2 folders as the root, flac and mp3.
