Is it possible to edit the "Album Artist" field using MP3TAG ? This field is displayed in iTunes but I couldn't find how to change it using MP3TAG.

Please see the attached picture. It shows the field in iTunes.

Thanks.

Album Artist in iTunes is actually the MP3 tag "BAND", which is the tag name that mp3tag uses.

EDIT: Removed quoted portion of response.
