I am looking for a way to swap data between two columns. For example, I want to switch all of the data in Artist with Album Artist so after running an 'Action', the text that was once in Album Artist is now in Artist and what was in Artist is now in Album Artist. Is this possible at all using MP3Tag??
Thanks in advanced!
Rich

Of course, but AFAIK not in a single-step Action, I'm sure someone with more experience will jump in if there's a better way
1. Format a temp field with the contents of field A
2. Format field A with the contents of field B
3. Format field B with the contents of your temp field
4. Delete the temp field
