#193 Unclear on how to add a user defined text TXXX field via kid3-cli

[XXX]

Hello and thank you for your efforts to create this software.

The problem I'm experiencing is that writing the command kid3-cli.exe -c "set rating '100'" "<path>" works great for my FLAC files as a tag named RATING is written to these files. However, the same command when performed on an MP3 file writes a POPULARIMETER tag instead. How can I write a custom field named RATING to an MP3 via the cli?

My desire is to write a tag named RATING to either FLACs or MP3s using a single command as I am hoping to use this method to write ratings from Foobar2000 using a shortcut to launch Kid3 (the way that fb2k writes the data seems to reformat/convert some tags in my files, which Kid3 does not).

For MP3s, I could use set TXXX '100' but I don't know how to specify the description of the TXXX field. In the GUI version of Kid3, you can specify the TXXX description, i.e. RATING, then set the value below.

Any help is appreciated,
Thank you.
