There always way to add your custom tags to more common tags and then use MM to own Custom Tags, also if batch tag utility is flexible you could use that util to create MM custom Tag and then import them in MM.
Example file with Tag needed to be imported to MM could be useful.
I'm having this same problem. Even after setting up a custom column it still does not read the 'Initial key' tag from the files. I just end up with a blank column.

The custom tag used by MM is just a custom tag, changing its name only does that - change the name. If MM doesn't support a particular field there is no way to custom-add it into MM. Really the only solution is to use another tagger (eg mp3tag) to batch move the contents of one tag to another one that MediaMonkey can read.

Need help? Got a suggestion? Can't find something?
Please no PMs in reply to a post. Just reply in the thread.
Just to Add - It would be nice to be able to add support for any tag (I use rapid evolution - so theres key, beat intensity and probably one or two others that would be nice to have..)
no word yet about it anyplace then this post as far as i have seen.
but it might be on the slow burner for the developers and could be added to mm 4 or 5 ?

If the ID3 tags are scanned why can't this field be displayable? I'm using the MM4 beta, could you guys add this before you've got your RC set and finalized?
as nohitter said simply use a good tagger (mp3tag f.e.) and format fields mm can read with your needed tagfield.
custom field entries/mappings are long-awaited though.
custom1 tagfield for example
---------------------------
id3 tag > COMMENT SONGS-DB_CUSTOM1
wma tag > usercustom1
mp4/ogg > custom1
