I was trying to configure Recording ID as a custom tag in MusicBee and discovered that it's written to a UFID tag, rather than a TXXX tag like all the other MusicBrainz IDs. Steven of MusicBee is working on updating it to be able to read the UFID tag, but that doesn't make it any easier to map as a custom tag.
I see the rationale behind using UFID, but it breaks the pattern of all the other MBIDs. Especially given that it's a different data format in the tag, it seems to be unnecessarily complicated for other systems to access. I think it should be written to a TXXX frame at least in addition to UFID, if not instead of.
