Hello.  
I am a huge fan of mp3tag as I have begun cataloging all my mp3s together for a portable mp3 device (aka zune)... i need to have all the miscellaneous songs just so as well as my soundtracks with various artists...

SO basically what I;m trying to say is... i want to batch edit the ALBUM ARTIST FIELD in ID3V2 FORMAT... the string isn't in the help so i'm assuming this feature is left out of this release?????

Thanks!!

This tag is called BAND in Mp3tag.  
You can also look at the help file, "Names and mapping of ID3v2/WMA tag fields"
