How do I bulk convert files from a various artists CD, so that the artist is the same as the album? I’m new to this and have done a search but cannot find the answer. Files have already been imported. Here’s an example:

Artist-Bo Diddley  
Track- I’m A Man  
Album-Chess Various

Change to:

Artist-Bo Diddley  
Track- I’m A Man  
Album- Bo Diddley

Thanks,  
Slim

Create a new "Format values" action, use "ALBUM" as field and "%artist%" as format string.
