It's intentional and I don't know why though.

Opps... I think it should be a bug and I reported it:

Seems too arbitrary for those four fields to be excluded, can't be intentional. Why would you have Original Lyracist and not Publisher?

It's not a bug, but a missing feature. The inclusion of all fields in the Track Listings has been requested before and is on the wishlist.

I was typing and didn't see your responce. I would have not sent that last post if I would have seen it.

How do you report this bug? Is someone monitoring this and will take the lead or do I need to do something?

Again, I think that this is a bug and you shouldn't have to use a custom field. You should be able to have the standard Publisher field displayed by right clicking the column headers. It makes no sense that it is excluded. That's why I think it was an ovesight and therefore a Bug.

Why not use the MediaMonkey Publisher field instead of creating a custom one?

Are you referring to the Classification Publisher field? I will do this from here on out. How do I get my library view to have a column thae header that says Publisher and for it to display the embedded Publisher data that already exists in each tag? That's why I created the custom field. I just didn't know if you could somehow map MM to retrieve the info and populate it there automatically.

BTW, you probably are getting curious responses because I'm guessing that eveyone like me though that the standard Publisher field could be selected to be displayed.

First, you could probably use a script to make that switch. Reg Exp Find & Replace would probably do it (your can search the script forum). If you do that, I would copy the info to the Custom field, not move it. If you move it, then the info won't be there for use of the file outside Monkey.

However, to me it seems that this is more a bug in Monkey. I can't see any reason that you wouldn't or shouldn't be able to display the Publisher field. Interestingly, it is one of only four fields in the Porperties details that you can't display - the four being ISRC, Publisher, Encoder and Copyright. IMO, none should be excluded from being able to be displayed. Maybe one of the Moderators can chim in as to whether this is a Bug or should just be a request for a new feature. My guess is that it only requires updating a table or two.

In the mean time, you could use the script to copy from the standard Publisher field to the custom. Btw, I would probably rename the custom field something else to avoid confusion.

The custom fields don't map to existing tags, they're additional fields that MediaMonkey can use. Why not use the MediaMonkey Publisher field instead of creating a custom one?

The only way to get the Publisher data in the custom field would be to use a script to copy the data.

The screenshot that shows the Publisher info/column to the far right was from Mp3tag just to show that the info existed in the tag. Another screenshot showed the Library in MM with the last column being Publisher and there is no info populated. The screenshot for Options shows I created a "Column" for Publisher because Publisher is not an available item to select when customizing (adding or removing) columns.

Based on your last reply, I verified that the Publisher info is populated in the Details tab but it is not populated in the Classification tab. How do I get MM to automatically place that data into the Classification Publisher field based on the embedded tag info?

It's not entirely clear what your problem is from the screenshots. You seemed to have renamed one of the Monkey custom field as "Publisher". However, Monkey already has a standard field called "Publisher" which gets mapped to the Publisher field in ID3v2 tags. (see help > Reference Info> Track Properties & Tag Format) The one screen shot shows the Publisher field blank and the other shows it populated. Are you showing one with the renamed custom filed and one with the standard field? Can you show two other screen shots ofthe same track which you believe has the Publisher info. Select the track, then Edit > Properties. The first screen shot show the "Details" tab and the other, show the "Classification" tab.

Post it to http://imageshack.us/ and then post the code here.

okay, I stupid. How do I do this? I tried copy/paste. I have a snipping tool andI saved to a file. How do I save the jpg file to this post?
