Hello people,

I want to batch change a tag (like genre) with specified content like "Theoldone" to "Thenewone". All (genre) tags which do not have the content "Theoldone" should remain untouched during the batch process.

How do I do that?

Thanks for your help in advance, Adam Huemer

Start by using a filter as %`genre% IS Theoldone` to get all tracks that should be edited. Then you can select all, and use an Action(Quick) to format the new data.

... or just enter the new data in GENRE in the tag panel and press Ctrl-S to save the changes.
