Use the tag mapping feature in Tools > Options > Tags > Mappings.
There are two ways you can create the mapping. Since you've been
working with MP3 files and probably have Actions defined using 'BAND'
you may want to use the first.
1.
Map BAND to ALBUMARTIST for FLAC and Ogg files (any files with Vorbis
Comments). Create a new field mapping, set Tag to 'VorbisComment',
Source to 'ALBUMARTIST', and Target to 'BAND'. Then anywhere you use or
see BAND when working with FLAC and Ogg files, it will actually be
reading and writing the field ALBUMARTIST.
One potential drawback, though: I believe by mapping BAND to
ALBUMARTIST you'll prevent Mp3tag from reading and writing an actual
(literal) BAND field in Vorbis Comments.
2.
You could map ALBUMARTIST to BAND for ID3v2 tags. Create a new field
mapping and set Tag to 'ID3v2', Source to 'BAND' and Target to
'ALBUMARTIST'. Then you would use the word ALBUMARTIST anywhere in
Mp3tag. For ID3v2 tags it would be mapped to BAND (which in turn is
mapped to TPE2 internally). For Vorbis Comments ALBUMARTIST would be
unmapped and used literally.
This would let you write both BAND and ALBUMARTIST fields to FLAC
files, but it means that anywhere you had previously used the fieldname
BAND, you'd have to change it to ALBUMARTIST. For example, in any
Actions, custom Tag Panel fields, or customized columns.
My preference is to use approach #2. By defining some additional
mappings I can work with both FLAC and MP3 files using the field names
that I'm familiar with in FLAC files, instead of using Mp3tag's
sometimes oddly named internal field names. What happens for the ID3v2
mappings shown below is that they actually get mapped twice - once for
the custom mapping and once for Mp3tag's own internal mapping to ID3v2
frames such as TSOP (ARTISTSORT).
So I have:
Code:
