Hi. Until recently I used MusicMatch as my main tool for most things regarding mp3s. Now that I'm (probably) switching to MJ, there are a few things I need to find out. In MMJB I used to copy the list of musicians to the 'Bios' tag, and these would automatically appear in the 'Comment' column in MJ. So far all is well. But when I try to copy/paste directly into the 'Comment' box in MJ, most of the text disappears. Is there a way to work around this?

that is because you have line feeds in the text your pasting.

Comment Box will take the first line.

I don't remember if MJ8 had a "Notes" field but i think it did that is a multi line box, so Bios would be better put there.

Yeah, I've also by now found out that the 'notes' field is a better place for pasting musicians' list. also, it is editable.
so here's another prob: is there a way to move the info previously put under the 'comment' tag, to the 'notes' tag, working with more than one album at the time?

Hi okvaal,

is there a way to move the info previously put under the 'comment' tag, to the 'notes' tag

With MJ8 moving data from one property field to the other is a bit cumbersome.
But with MC9 (now in beta) there's a new tool to do exactly what you want (moving/copying data fields from one to another).
All'n all properties management is much better with MC.

Thanks a lot. Since I started this thread, I have in fact been upgrading to MC9, and you're right: there it is. And yes, I agree, MC is a better tool. My best investment for a long time
