MP3tag has "artist" & "album artist" tags

but WMP12 has a "contributing artist" column. so does windows explorer. does this equate to "artist" in mp3tag ?

also, does anyone have a simple method of mass copying artist to album artist or vice versa, that can be tun as a batch process over lots of files please ?
