Hi,

How can I export the tags "Composer" & "Album Artist"? What should be the key word to be used for exporting these tags?

To export use the function in File \> export.  
There choose a template and make copy of it (so not to overwrite the original).

The variables that contain the contents of the tags are:  
%composer%  
%albumartist%

Add these two to the export script (and delete those you don't want)

Is this what you mean by "export"?

Thats what I am trying to do...and your suggestion worked.
