Hi all
Im wondering if this is possible.
I want to copy the "artist" field to the beginning of the "Album" filed, to look like this Adele - 19, as some sort of job command. Obviously i can open each album and add this manually and save it, but as i have around 800 albums this will take some time. Just wondered if there was a quick way to do it.
Each album is stored in the following directory manor
Album Artist
```
Album
Track.Flac
```
If an artist has multiple albums then they are all within the one album artist folder. Hope this makes sense, and hope this can be done. Many thanks

%artist% - %album%
