Hey!

Sorry if this, or a similar question, has been asked before, but I could not find anything ![:book:](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/1X/0036d5b68f6226c53f6c68abfd0a7b8096fd4505.gif ":book:") or work out how to do it using an Action.

I am looking to add something (i.e. "Low Quality") in the comments field if the bitrate = x (i.e. 128)

Is there a way to do this?

Peace ![:music:](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/1X/2ba05d1ade5eb0d15fc173be6f717dbe63890a70.gif ":music:")

"Low Quality" if bitrate is **128 or less** :  
Action: Format Value  
Field: COMMENT  
Formatstring: **$ifgreater(129,%\_bitrate%,Low Quality,%comment%)**

"Low Quality" if bitrate is **exact 128** :  
Action: Format Value  
Field: COMMENT  
Formatstring: **$if($eql(128,%\_bitrate%),Low Quality,%comment%)**

I knew it'd be possible. What a great piece of software 🙂

Thanks a lot 😃
