I have my whole music library correctly tagged the way I wanted songs, artists, genres etc. I plan on converting the title and artist to filename BUT I was hoping to first copy whatever is in the filename now...to something I don't use like ALBUM ARTIST.

This is possible, use the converter for Filename->Tag and choose which field you want to use. But rather than overwrite this into a standard field, why not use a user-defined field that won’t show up in any regular players in the meantime.

That’s good to know for future that I can find the remixer field. But yeah for now I’m ok with just copying the file name over to a new unused field. ( I do use comments myself in sersto also) a program called lexicon $16 a month claims to be able to extract the remixer from the file name.

Honestly, if you showed us a real filename then we could probably think of something to get the remixer without the $16 fee.

Copy filename to something other than title?
