Hello,

I have a problem of converting tags. Is it possible to convert Tag-Fields from "PERFORMER", supported in Foobar2000 to "ARTIST" and to keep the values? I want transfer files on my IPod with Rockbox. Rockbox doesn't recognize the tag "%performer%"? If possible, can I do this by a batch?

Regards  
Robbi

Hi Robbi,

this action should do the trick

_Action type:_ **Format value**  
_Field:_ **ARTIST**  
_Formatstring:_ **%performer%**

Kind regards,  
Florian
