Should I specify the release type in the album tag?

Hi!
I would like to know, in my music player, if the “album” is an extended play, a single, a compilation and so on.
So my question is the following: is it common that the music players display the information contained in the releasetype tag? If not (I won’t specify it for the “albums” since they are the most common in my music library), but should I specify the release type in the album tag?

What is your experience with the release types?

No, it’s unheard of and not part of tagging standards.

If you want to see it, sure. You can tag your own files however you want.
