I am trying to automatically write the album sort so when I import the albums to itunes, it already knows how to sort. I sort by YEAR - ALBUM, so the code looks like this:

TSOA := gtag.copyright + ' - ' + gtag.album;
gTag.ExtraFieldSet( 'TSOA', TSOA ) ;

problem is, itunes ignores this. When I right click and view properties of the MP3 in windows, it detects the tag as custom, as it says TSOA. If I edit the sort album directly in itunes, the properties view in explorer shows ALBUM SORT.

So...using ExtraFieldSet is writing a tag in a nonstandard format.

any ideas?

ExtraFieldSet uses the TXXX frame for ID3v2 (user frame), there is no direct support for :
TSOA Album sort order
TSOP Performer sort order
TSOT Title sort order
I'll add support for those in the next beta build or the one after that

ok, thanks!

Any word on adding the itunes tags?

These will be available on the first 0.86 beta which is not very far away

great news!!
