Hi

I need Help with below Scenario.

**OS : mac OS Sonoma 14.2.1 (23C71)**  
**mp3tag Version : 1.8.12 (94)**

I've _ **"72 Albums with 366 .Flac Files"** _, They all have " **Extended TAG**" titled " **DESCRIPTION**" that has details of "Lyricist" as shown below.

**What i need to Establish** ::

1. I need to copy this data from " **DESCRIPTION**" to new E.TAG " **Lyricist**".
2. Once first task is established, Delete the Tag "Description".

Please suggest / Help.

_I could not add this DESCRIPTION tag to "Tag Panel"._ I did quite some reading here in this forum and it did not help.

Try an action of the type "Import tag fields"  
Source: `%description%==`  
Target format string: `%lyricist%==%description%`

@ohrenkino

Thank You very much for your help.

That worked like magic. Looks like "mp3tag" has a lot of potential and i am not sure to use / exploit it.
