Hello  
I need help and I speak little English.

I accidentally deleted the default values of the column "Album Artist"  
Can you give me these three values:

```
Value : 
Field : 
Sort by :

```

Thanks in advance

**Name : AlbumArtist Value : $if2(%ALBUMARTIST%,$if2(%ALBUM ARTIST%,'? '$if2(%ARTIST%,%\_filename\_ext%))) Field : %ALBUMARTIST% Sort by: $if2(%ALBUMARTIST%,$if2(%ALBUM ARTIST%,'? '$if2(%ARTIST%,%\_filename\_ext%))) Numeric: no**
