If a music file is not found in Scan or Lookup, I have to populate albumartist manually. I’m not sure I want to invest in learning this scripting syntax and so wanted to ask first. Is there a handy script to automatically to if there is no tag called albumartist to create it, then to look at all tracks with the same album name and if the artist matches on all, to copy the value to a new albumartist task. Then as a bonus, if the artist doesn’t match on all album tracks to populate a value of “Various Artists” in albumartist.
You could add a script in Options > Scripting:
$if($not(%albumartist%),$set(albumartist,%artist%))
This would set the albumartist tag to the value of artist if albumartist is empty. You could run this script by selecting the files and run the script via the right click context menu Scripts… menu.
But it doesn’t check for all files, only each single file.
