And the link I provided (https://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/index.php?title=Tag_Mapping) also lists 'Album Artist' not 'ALBUMARTIST'. The unit test file has an 'ALBUMARTIST' field that should be changed to 'Album Artist'. > > > Yes, maybe it's not widely used, but it is used. Kodi for example supports both reading from DISCNUMBER and DISC. If you use kid3 to edit the metadata of ape tags, the standard behavior is to actually to write to DISCNUMBER (and similar to ALBUMARTIST). > One thing I've learned when I digged into metadata of audio files is that there is no standard, and KFileMetaData should handle as much cases as possible. Since it is easy to query both, please add it. kid3 allows arbitrary field names and the APE tag field names for DISC and ALBUM ARTIST aren't there by default. The corresponding tags for id3 are there and can be applied to APE tags, but they aren't widely used as valid APE fields.
