Easy way to duplicate Artist as Album Artist?

Hello. Is there an easier way than copy and pasting to make the Album Artist the same as Artist?

Yes. You can use the menu Convert Tag-Tag (ALT + 5) with something like

You can see if this works before you press OK if you see the expected result text between the Format string %ARTIST% and the Preview-Button ("Amir" in my example).

If you prefer an Action, you can follow this FAQ entry:

Actions and batch-operations

How to copy one field value to another field? Example how to copy the content of the ARTIST field to the ALBUMARTIST field: Create a new action in an existing action group or make a new action group. Action type: Format value Field: ALBUMARTIST Format string: %artist% Note: If you want to copy all possible values of a field (in case you have multiple artist fields), the internal scripting function $meta_sep can be used in the format string, e.g., $meta_sep(artist,\\\\)
