I'm in the process of building a new MM 4.1 system based on on an old MM 2.5 system. In the old system there were some custom fields in the database records that, I think, had been set using a homegrown Access utility. The fields copied over during the 2 database upgrades, but we don't have a way of setting them for newly scanned tracks. The custom fields do no show in a Properties display, but I assume that display shows just the standard MP3 tag fields. (I could be way off base there.)
The most important custom field is just a copy of Genre, I think. (We have misappropriated Genre for other purposes - it contains country of origin information.) Is there, without writing a script, some way of copying data from a standard field to a custom field?
