ADVANCED USAGE

Sometimes other taggers like MP3Tag and Musicbrainz Picard fill tags with non-standard fields. Some of the these fields include Catalog numbers or unique identifiers for databases like discogs or Musicbrainz. Far more accurate queries can be attained by using these tags together with Musicbee's custom tag feature. The following formulas can be entered as a web-link in MusicBee. Essentially, they instruct Musicbee to use the unique tags first or, if they are not found, to use more standard tags.
