Hello all
I have a bunch of files in APE v2 (ID3v1 ID3v2.3 APEv2) format.
The track titles are not in the common "title" field, but in an extended tag called NAME
Is there a way to create an action that converts all NAME tags into title?
Also, would it there be an easy way to delete all NAME tags afterwards?
Thanks a lot!

Yes. Help says:
Format value
Formats tag fields by other fields content.
You can use placeholder(s) for any tag field as format string to format the content of the field specified.
so top copy the value of NAME to TITLE use
Action Format Value Field: TITLE Format string: %NAME%
> Also, would it there be an easy way to delete all NAME tags afterwards?
Yes: Action Remove fields
> Thanks a lot!
You're welcome!
