Hi guys, sorry if this has already been answered but I did a quick search and I couldnt find anything.

Because of the way My MP3 player groups songs and because it conflicts with the way I want them to be grouped (it groups by album as well as artist), I was wondering if there was a way to make the %album% field equal to whatever is in the %artist% field. So basically whatever is in ARTIST will go into become ALBUM (ARTIST --\> ALBUM).

Im pretty sure there is a way to do this, I'm just a bit confused about the code and where to input it, thanks a million

easy: mark your files, press shift-alt-6 (one-time action or create a new Action to be reused via Convert-Actions-New-button) and select 'Guess Values', set 'Source format' to %album% and 'Guessing pattern' to %title%, hit OK

HTH, andreas

10 mins later: 'Format value', Field: %album%, Format string: %titel% is even easier ... sorry
