XRECODE

I tried to create and write to a newly created field/tag ORIGINAL RELEASE YEAR. When I look at the files after tagging/converting with Xrecode, the field name has a prefix TXXX: . Unfortunately, that does not work for my purposes. Is there a way to create such field/tag without this prefix? Thank you!

Hi,
Which format did you convert to?

FLAC

Could you please send one of the original files to xrecode@gmail.com?
You could use https://wetransfer.com/ if it's too big.

It is independent of the source file. Maybe I do not know how to add the field ORIGINAL RELEASE YEAR to the GUI?

In the Metadata-pane, I right click on the columns at the top and choose “Arrange Columns”. Then I click “Add” and enter “ORIGINAL RELEASE YEAR” in “Tag Name”. After saving, I right click in the lower part of the Metadata-pane and choose “Arrange”. I then add the newly created field. Any entry in this field results in a tag with the prefix TXXX: after saving tags or converting file.

Thanks for the detailed description of the issue
Here's an update to try - https://xrecode.com/test/setup_xrecode3 ... _1.171.exe

Now Xrecodes writes both fields simultaneously: with TXXX-prefix and without (which still is far better for my purposes than before )

Did you try it on a new file? The old TXXX would still be in file after this fix

Yes, on multiple different files previously untouched, an entire into the ORIGINAL RELEASE YEAR field (which previously was not existent in the file) also triggered the creation of the additional field with the TXXX prefix.
