No "Record Label" in the tagging?
FenceFurniture:
Just going through the fun of tagging some classical music, where the quality of the recording is highly dependent on the "Label" like Telarc, Deutsche Grammophon, etc. I was surprised that I couldn't find a field called "Label", and couldn't see how to customise one. Is there a way to do that?
RoderickGI:
Wouldn't [Publisher] have a one to one relationship with Record Label. i.e. They are the same thing?
There is a standard [Publisher] field in MC, and my limited number of Classical tracks have the Record Label stored in it.

Well....I guess I can use it at a pinch, although I imagine that technically the publisher publishes the "sheet" music....not that I care though. It's just surprising that it isn't there, and given the vast power of MC that I have been discovering in the last week, equally surprising that I can't customise a field.
I added Publisher but none of my (also limited) number of classical CDs have anything in that field.

Whether your existing files have anything in Publisher is up to the lookup database you used. Roderick is right that Publisher is the normal field for this. I rip using dbPowerAmp and it often, but not always, supplies the Record Label in the publisher field.
Where did you get the idea you can't customize a field?!?! That's nuts, and no one here would have told you that.
Feel free to create a new database field called "Record Label" if you like. Apply it to file type audio, check save to file tags, then use it as you would any other field. The database is extensible.
Options->Library and you'll see the button to manage database fields.
MC will let you organize and tag your files in almost any way you can imagine.

Yes these were all ripped with dbP but there was nothing there when I included Publisher in the list after Roderick's post.
I thought I might be able to customise a field when I clicked "customise" (funnily enough) so, no, I'm not suggesting that someone here said that, at all.
Options->Library and you'll see the button to manage database fields.
If you mean Options as in Ctrl O then there is nothing there about Library, and I can't find any other reference to options.
