I am trying to find a way to add composer for my albums using Mp3tag for Mac. I can't seem to figure it out. Also I'd like to be able to select an album and have the composer for each song automatically added instead of doing it manually. Anyone know how to do this?

Depends how you define "automatically" and "manually".

You'll have to add it manually. Importing composers automatically is currently not possible.
