I prefer to consolidate my album artists. For example, I routinely change a lead jazz artist with his umpteen band variations from ‘jazz artist name & band’ to simply ‘jazz artist name’ for the album artist. The artist field, OTOH, stays per the album credit.
This approach has caused me an issue of late with my stereo player’s server software. That software now recognizes MB IDs, and they take priority over the legacy text values for album artist. So recently I’ve discovered my player is showing album artist duplicates. So I’d like to back through these duplicates and change all the MB album artist IDs to the ID that matches my preference for album artist.
Is there a function available where I can do this in a script? Ideally, I would type the standardized artist name in the album artist field, then call a script to fill the MB album artist ID tag with the proper ID. My only work then is to make sure I’m using the MB’s standardized artist name.
