Swap Artist with Album

[pete7769]

Hi Folks

Can someone tell me if its possible to swap the artist with the album name, my stereo only allows the track title and album name to be displayed, i would rather it display the artist instead, so if i can swap them over then i reckon it will work, is there a script out there that will do it???

Thanks Pete

I am a newbie but I know this one. Go to tools->Scripts and there is a script to do that.

@Oldtimer
That one swaps Artist and Title not Artist and Album

Try this one by Steegy:

You find more scripts which can do this in the all scripts thread.

thanks very much, looks a bit complicated though, do you know what i need to put in and where just to get it to swap artist with album??

ExtractFields (thx Bex) lets you tag your tracks based on the current tags contents (e.g. switch/copy fields, remove unwanted prefix numbers, split FreeDB titles as title and artist, ...). See in the script's first post for an example on how to use it (below the script code).

For your case (swap Artist with Album):
- set "entry parsing method" to Parallel.
- entry line 1: select ArtistName, enter <Album>
- entry line 2: select AlbumName, enter <Artist>


SwitchOrCopyFields swaps or copies specified song data fields (e.g. to swap artist and title). It's easier to use than ExtractFields, but it's less powerful.
