not a solution for what you are looking for frustrating to replicate and make it work So, do not consider my system to be some holy grail. While I have reasons for deciding not giving them any (important) role in my system and workflow, it will be sensible for most other user to do use them, and maybe it will make things easier or better for you too. Most users that have classical music in their library-but are less obsessive with it-will make use of two specific tags that were introduced a couple of years ago to improve on tagging and handling classical music: Other 'serious' users of classical music/MusicBee/Picard probably each have their own system that they like better. It is not assuming to be a good system for anybody else. The system I described is a system I have designed and refined over a couple of years, and is tuned to my very personal liking and preferences. Maybe I will read and respond to your posts in more detail at a later time, but for now I think it's important to make two things clear: I'm impressed -) Tagging and handling classical music is a difficult matter with many complications. I assume that it was the lack of the custom tag in MB was the problem.

Putting the FLAC files into MB was better, but still most tags were missing. Thinking that problem might have been caused by the WAV format (I know that tagging is a problem with WAV files), I converted them to FLAC using MB and re-loaded them into Picard. But when I read those files into MB, the tags were not very good. The tags were successfully found and sorted correctly for Classical music. I loaded the CD, read it into Picard, and put the folder containing the WAV files into Picard. Even though EAC claimed to be able to rip into FLAC, the files ended up as WAV. Because the first one was not FLAC, I decided to re-rip it using Exact Audio Copy. The first rip was several years ago using iTunes, which had pretty good tags, and the second one was a couple of days ago. I found a CD which I had previously ripped (twice!).

I mean I couldn't find how to create the custom tag. Hiccup: Progress!, except that in MusicBee I couldn't 'Create a custom tag named: Picard title full'.
