Several years ago, I embarked on a project to create a "universal" tag map that took into account all the tools I was able to put my hands on...life got in the way and I never finished it
Each of the tag editors I experimented with had some set of known metadata types which it mapped into ID3v2.x frame types but I couldn't figure out how to modify that mapping in a reasonable way.
I don't have access to MacOS. For Kid3 I have a description of its use of ID3 frames (and other schemes). See Table 3.1 in https://docs.kde.org/trunk5/en/kid3/kid3...frame-list
They map their "Unified frame type" Remixer to the ID3v2.3 TPE4 frame type. You might experiment with that, keeping in mind that you're customizing your tracks to fit MPD's Procrustean Bed. [Note that the table does not list a Performer type.] I just now tried this on a test track using Kid3 on my Linux laptop. After I updated the moOde folder the value I gave for "Remixer" now shows up in mpc list performer. I don't see it in the Playback panel when I play the track but I don't have time ATM to figure out why.
When I want to tag a track "my" way, I tend to use the Python Mutagen module but that's just me. There are other flexible, non-GUI tools too.
