Hey all, new user here, congrats on the software, looking great so far.
Having some trouble with creating a new action. I want to do a mass rename on Album Artist, so I figure I need to create a "replace" action. As I start doing this, I go Action\>New\>Replace (for the function), then the next step is to select the field. My problem is that the album artist is not in the drop down selection. Can anybody point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance.

Look for "Band".

I made hand-added tag ALBUM ARTIST field, because foobar2000 doesn't "see" this tag BAND.
