Also, if a user's files have this information in them from another program (Mixed in Key, Rapid Evolution 2 or 3, Mixmeister, Virtual DJ, etc.), why not take advantage of it? There are probably AutoDJ plugins that could use this info to improve the overall flow of a generated playlist.

I would also like to have Key and Keycode as field options. The key of a song is often just as important as BPM or Mood.

Add me to the list of people who want/need this tag to be native. Seriously if BPM is there why not initial key?

i was soooo hoping that this would be there when i upgraded to v4... :(

i already use mp3tag to move them into something that MM can see, but that's an extra step i'd like to ditch if possible.

as nohitter said simply use a good tagger (mp3tag f.e.) and format fields mm can read with your needed tagfield.
custom field entries/mappings are long-awaited though.

custom1 tagfield for example
---------------------------
id3 tag > COMMENT SONGS-DB_CUSTOM1
wma tag > usercustom1
mp4/ogg > custom1

That won't happen as the strings are locked.

SUPER BUMP!

If the ID3 tags are scanned why can't this field be displayable? I'm using the MM4 beta, could you guys add this before you've got your RC set and finalized?

Thanks

no word yet about it anyplace then this post as far as i have seen.

but it might be on the slow burner for the developers and could be added to mm 4 or 5 ? 8) :-?

Bump.
I would love the key tag to be visible too

Any update on this feature?

Just to Add - It would be nice to be able to add support for any tag (I use rapid evolution - so theres key, beat intensity and probably one or two others that would be nice to have..)

Moved to wishlist as feature is unavailable.

The custom tag used by MM is just a custom tag, changing its name only does that - change the name. If MM doesn't support a particular field there is no way to custom-add it into MM. Really the only solution is to use another tagger (eg mp3tag) to batch move the contents of one tag to another one that MediaMonkey can read.

Do you actually know how to do that.

I'm stuck right now. I have everything mixed in key but i really don't know how to get it in my MM custom list.

is there anybody who can tell me how to do it.

I will send you loveletters (lol)
