thanks Dano!

I just found the answer on the board in thread  
[/t/4024/1](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/4024/1)  
which is similar approach as you suggest, ie create a new Action  
with properties

Action type: Format value  
Field: BAND  
Formatstring: %Artist%

and it works great! Saved my bacon - I wasn't looking forward to updated 10.000 tracks by hand in WMP, ugh!, that would have been a real nasty exersize.

thanks for the help!
