Thanks Matt. I would suggest adding the other ones which you already have as default tags  as I listed above, assuming it is an easy change. So add

Copyright
Lyricist
Performer
Publisher
Soloist

Lyricist, Performer and Soloist  seem like somewhat common tags for classical music.

@gen  - Genre
@alb   - Album Name
@art   - Album Artist
@wrt   - Composer
@nam - Song (Track) Name
@day  - Release Day

and MC recognizes them correct.

It seems like MC is recognizing some of the iTunes tags but not all of them.  Something as common as Conductor should be added to MC's list of tags to recognize, since it appears they already have the logic in place to do the conversions. Ideally the entire list of approximately 20 additional iTunes tag should be added to MC given the mechanism already exists or at least the ones for which MC has the existing tags by default.

From the linked document, the standard tags looked like they are already implemented in MC. The optional ones are not. These are the optional tags listed:

Art Director   İarg
Lyricist/Author İaut
Copyright Acknowledgement(s) İcak
Conductor İcon
Song Description İdes
Director İdir
Equalization İequ
Liner Notes İlnt
Record Company İmak
Original Artist İope
Phonogram Rights (P-Line) İphg
Producer İprd
Performer İprf
Publisher İpub
Sound Engineer  İsne
Soloist İsol
Credits İsrc
Thanks/Dedications İthx

Online Extras İxpd

A lot of these are ignored in MC because at the time of writing mp4 support, a lot of them were not documented.  I will add more that are now documented, such as İcon.  Can someone confirm that İcon is written to a file in the exactly the same way as İgen or İalb?

I downloaded the files above and it looks like  İcon is implemented the same as the others, but I get that just from looking at the hex in the file. I do not know anything for sure other than the list in iTunes spec referenced above. You can download one of the files and take a look. The link is

I used the first file.

There is a non-zero number before the İin each case, but I do not know if it is meaningful or not.

Thanks.

Some of the fields, including con, dir, prd, pub are in the 23.0.7 release that was just posted. That was fast!  Maybe some others will follow.

That was fast indeed. I guess I had better switch to MC23.

Actually, it did not make the .7 release according to Yaobing's post but should show up soon.
