Any one know how  to change all the Band tags in one go to be the same as the artist, or better still to just change them if they are blank?

As always, you can use an [action](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/967/1) for this 🙂
Action #1:
_Action type:_ **Format value**
_Field:_ **BAND**
_Formatstring:_ **%artist%**
Best regards,

**Edit:** You can edit the BAND field also via the extended tag dialog at  View \> Tags... but I guess you are looking for an automated way.

😃 Many thanks, please ignore my other post I wasn't sure if this one would be seen. I would imagine this will be a popular question once Media Centre use goes up as Band, which it uses, doesn't seem to be supported by many of the other rippers.

Awesome, thanks for this one, with a libray in excess of 10000 tracks i wasn't relishing the idea of doing it manually.

Is it possible to add the BAND field to the tag panel?
