I am very new here, not a frequent Windows user, and using mp3tag on a Mac (I am using Wine). I have opened my directory of files, but my question is how do I change the value of a field of a number of files at once? The value is the same across all the files (I have a blank field). Thanks! ---

see e.g this thread: > [@Copying Artist from line 1 to all other lines](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/copying-artist-from-line-1-to-all-other-lines/47314/2): > > I would use the tag panel. Select all files in the file list that should get the same data, turn to the tag panel, and the field that is to be updated, select the already existing data from the dropdown list press Ctrl-S to save the modification. For fields that you do not see in the tag panel, use the extended tags dialogue (Alt-T). There is no way to do it with an action. ---

Marvellous! Exactly what I wanted, so thank you. ---
