I’d like to suggest an improvement to the Case Conversion feature so as it would comply to the capitalization rules such as [these](http://www.dailywritingtips.com/rules-for-capitalization-in-titles/) (lowercasing the articles and prepositions)

As these rules only apply to English language entries and are more or less useless for all other languages I would say, it is only fair that users with particular likings for a specific language write their own actions to deal with them.  
You are welcome in this forum to publish an action that refines such entries.

afaik, case conversion itself is a purely English tradition, other languages capitalize just the first letter of a song title. So if the cc feature be incompatible with rules of English, it’s completely useless 🙂

Thanks, by the way, I have been ignorant of the mp3tag scripting features before. So I actually made up the action. Here it is.

I am not sure if using \_ALL for the field is a good idea. From what I understand that will change file names. I changed this to \_Tag.

Thanks for this.
