Hi,

I would like to move the entire contents of the Composer column to the Comment column and then move the contents of the Album Artist column to Composer.

Is that possible?  
(I have 62000 record whose value is in the wrong field)

Try an action of the type "Guess value"  
Source string: `%albumartist%==%composer%`  
Target format string: `%composer%==%comment%`

The data in ALBUMARTIST will be kept. Perhaps you use in a second step either the tag panel or the extended tags dialogue to treat the data in ALBUMARTIST (e.g. remove it)
