Hi,
since the first version of this thread was deleted when I re-resurrected the old feature requests (I was asking for Library & Metadata overhaul in the same thread... and it got first locked by Matt-NI - and then it disappeared for reasons unknown... Matt_NI & me chatted about this - and it's logged as an issue with the forum vendor), here's the same request, split up in 2 feature requests. But - they need to go hand-in-hand, otherwise there's little value gained by either...
So, as a resurrection of this:
As a TLDR:
Metadata container technical specifications clearly define how to add:
- multi value support [i.e. multiple genres, artists, etc] as well as
- custom fields
The former was made part of the ID3 spec (for mp3s) in 1999... and we really need Traktor to support this in 2022 for formats where this is clearly defined [id3, vorbis, ape - else ?], as well so we can read/write [i/o] our multi-value metadata in Traktor as well as read/sort/write to our custom tags [as an example, I maintain an 'Energy' field, an 'Instrumental' field, 'Instruments' etc - not having access to these in my DJ tool is a real bummer - and I am still forced to re-write multiple tags into a 'sanctioned' field Traktor can read]...
Cheers.
