Hello What is the easiest way to copy the composer tags (there are several composers) from one album to another, e. g. from a 24/96 album to a normal flac album? Thanks

If you want to copy all tags from one set of files to another, use the copy tag / paste tag function which works not only for a single file but also for a set of files - provided source files and target files are the same in number and order. To copy a single field requires the export to a text fil…

If you don't want to copy the complete tags of the files, you can also copy individual fields (also multiple fields) from one file to another via the extended tag dialog (via right-click menu on the fields or Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V).

Thanks Florian! There is no problem to Copy and Paste via the Extended Tag Dialog, but I think this does not work if there are several composers.

Thanks ohrenkino! If I hit Export, Export configuration, I choose txt_taglist, Export file name: mp3tag.txt. Then I go to Actions Quick, Import text file, Field: I choose "COMPOSER", Filename: mp3tag.txt. But all fields are imported and not only the Composer Tag.

I would create a dedicated export with just the field %composer%. Use $loop(1,1) to keep the order in which you found the data. Select the source files and execute the export script. Then select the target files and use Convert>Text file-Tag.

That's right! Different files with different composers.

How do you create a dedicated export?

Use one of the template reports and make a copy. Then open it to edit it. remove everything after the first $loop. Replace the $loop(... with $loop(1,1)%composer% $loopend() Save the new report and try it.
