Hi! Maybe a dumb question or it was already answered someday in the past:
Is there a way for binding values in different fields? e.g. if artist value is “Bach”, the field genre is filled with the value “Classical”.
Thanks in advance for the help.

You can set up an action that interprets one field and then sets the value for another.
E.g. an action of the type "Format value" for GENRE
Format string: `$if($eql(%artist%,Bach),Classical,%genre%)`

Thanks for your response. This means there’s no way to make it automatic, like, an excel formula, right?

MP3tag usually does not do anything automatic but only if triggered by the user.
So, no: there is no automatism.
But you could filter for all files with "Bach", select all these files, set the genre in the tag panel and save the modfication.
Probably just as quick and much more accurate and flexible if you encounter artists that serve more than 1 genre.

Yep, I was asking just because I’m used to work with albums with multiples artists and genres, but your approach will be useful. Thanks bro 🙂
