    Custom tags with multiple filelds

    I would like to create a custom tag with one or two possible values.

    Why isn't
    'm_metagenre,3,TEXT' (same without 'Text' or with 'INTEGER')
    working (editing the database fields)?

    Like here: https://forum.dbpoweramp.com/showthr...s-in-FLAC-tags

    It only works for one file: m_metagenre (and with ',TEXT')

    That was the old database, it was updated, see the other items in the definition file.

      Sorry, I don't understand. What definition file do you mean?

        In the MediaDatabaseFieldsv7a.txt file, those existing entries will show how to create a new entry.

        You would need: m_metagenre on its own. The absence of the INTEGER or TEXT informs it is a tabled entry which can handle multiple values.

          So this is my MediaDatabaseFieldsv7a.txt:

          [COLOR="*FF0000"]artist
          album artist
          album
          genre
          composer
          conductor
          title,TEXT
          year,INTEGER
          track,TEXT
          disc,TEXT
          type,TEXT
          rating,INTEGER
          compilation,INTEGER
          bits,INTEGER
          channels,INTEGER
          frequency,INTEGER
          bitrate,INTEGER
          lengthms,INTEGER
          size,INTEGER
          work
          movement name,TEXT
          movement number,INTEGER
          style
          m_metagenre
          [/COLOR]

          So now it should work if I have the right tagging software?

            Yes should do.

              Thanks, with seperator '\\' it works fine for all files!

                '\\' is the symbol that your tag editor has chosen to signify a multi-value entry (foobar uses ';'), it's not what is stored in the tag itself e.g. ID3v2.4 uses the null character and ID3v2.3 uses '/'.
