Hi,  
I'm realizing that I have many files without the "album artis"t tag and I need to populate it using the same infos iserted into "artist".  
I wanna do it on all the files with an empty album artist that are not compilation or podcasts.  
A couple of questions about it:

1. can I do it with a script?
2. if yes can I see a sample somewhere?
3. ather ideas on how to do it ?

Thanks in advance
