Can someone create a script or something that will copy the Album Artist field into the Artist field IF it is empty
I also want this vice versa (from Artist to Album Artist).
Please indicate how to do this mp3tag because I am new to the program and not very good at codes lol.
Thanks

You could start with reading the FAQs:

Perhaps you also apply a filter with
%artist% IS ""
to show only those files that have no artist...
