Erland,

first, let me thank you for all the effort you put in your plugins.
Much appreciated!

I use MusicBrainz' Picard Tagging a lot and would like to use
CustomScan/CustomBrowse with these fields:
    
- ARTIST (ARTIST, TPE1)
- ARTISTSORT (ARTISTSORT, TXXX:ARTISTSORT *or* TSOP *or* XSOP)
- ALBUMARTIST (ALBUMARTIST, TPE2 *or* TXXX:ALBUMARTIST)
- ALBUMARTISTSORT (ALBUMARTISTSORT, TXXX:ALBUMARTISTSORT)
- LANGUAGE (LANGUAGE, TLAN)
- ORIGYEAR (ORIGYEAR, TORY)
- RELEASESTATUS (RELEASESTATUS, TXXX:MusicBrainz Album Status)
- RELEASETYPE (RELEASETYPE, TXXX:MusicBrainz Album Type)
  
-Internal name (FLAC tag name, ID3v2 tag name(s))-

(XSOP is set by MusicBrainz Picard for ID3v2.3 since TSOP was
introduced in ID3v2.4 only.)

Here are my questions:

  
- Is this (easily) possible?
- What would I have to put into the CustomScan fields?
- Can CustomScan/CustomBrowse handle tag frames that have blanks in
  them?
- Would I have to change CustomScan/Modules/CustomTag.pm (for the
  ID3v2 mappings)?
- Can CustomScan map tags n:1? (i.e., put ID3v2 XSOP, TSOP,
  TXXX:ARTISTSORT *or* Vorbis Comment ARTISTSORT into ONE internal
  database field?
- If yes, how can I specify a preference? (i.e., if both
  TXXX:ARTISTSORT *and* XSOP are present, use TXXX:ARTISTSORT)
- Would it be possible to make up something for CustomBrowse like »IF
  I have ORIGYEAR, use that, otherwise YEAR« (some of my files
  don’t have ORIGYEAR but I still would like to browse by
  decades)?
- Does it make sense to specify
  »ARTIST=ARTISTSORT,ALBUMARTIST=ALBUMARTISTSORT« for sorting, because
  these *should* be handled by SC already?
  

I guess you see the picture … I’m trying to rebuild my
existing system (that I use with other software like MusicIP Mixer) for
SC, so the handling can be the same, even when listening for private
pleasure :-) And of course I can’t change the tags wildly, since
these are used by other software (and for broadcasting).

Anyway, many thanks in advance for your feedback!
