Well, I did say that

but yes, if you wanted to be able to do this for All Artists then it'll be just as big.


The solution was trying to address the other half of the OP's request that can't be delivered by the standard functionality.

I've just had a quick look and it's trivial to produce the tagUpdate script in mp3tag (as it is in foobar2000 too) with an export script of:

Code:

#filename(D:\downloads\tagUpdate.txt,utf-8)
#loop(%albumartist%,1)@ARTIST=%albumartist%
+ACCARTIST=%albumartist%
#loopend()
#loop(%albumartist%,1)@ACCARTIST=%albumartist%
&ALBUMARTIST=%albumartist%
-ACCARTIST=%albumartist%
#loopend()

NOTE: I've had to replace $ with # in the code block in order for the forum software to accept it.

I've got to admit, I do love tagUpdate :-)
