Is there a way to work with the "Album Artist" field that is in iTunes when working with MP3TAG?

I want to add it to the Tag Panel so that I can change a bunch of characters by doing a 'search and repleace'.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Nevermind...I think I found the answer deep in the search option here on the forum.

Yes, just add a new field BAND via Options \> Tag Panel or use %band% as field and value at View \> Columns... to add it to the file list.
