Hi,
I'm trying to automate my tag/renaming proces as much as possible. I've created an Action to remove all tag fields except:
TITLE;ARTIST;ALBUM;YEAR;TRACK;GENRE;COMMENT;DISCNUMBER;ALBUMARTIST;LABEL;CATALOG
;COUNTRY
What do I need to add to this list in order to keep the cover art too?
And is it possible to add a tag -\> filename afterwards so it is performed directly after removing unnecesary tags?
The last thing I want to know 😉 Is it possible to change the default fields in mp3tag (like Title, Artist, Year, etc) to a different value? So Year doesn't point to YEAR but to DATE.
Cheers,
Silverwing

Yes, via an action Format value for the \_FILENAME field.

No, but you can add the DATE field to the Tag Panel via Options \> Tag Panel.
