Track Name Edit with sed v1.0

This script will assist with editing track names using the Unix command-line sed.

Select some tracks, run the script, and enter a sed command (eg: s/ (Bonus Track)// or s/_/ /g). Obviously, your familiarity with sed and regex increases its purposefulness. However, for the sed-phobic, the display always defaults to s/replace_me/with_me/ for simple search-and-replace operations. The adventurous may also find it of use as the basis for other tag-editing scripts.

Copy Tag Info Tracks to Tracks v2.1

This script lets you copy specfic tag data from the selected tracks to a second set of selected tracks. You can copy any combination of Song Name, Artist, Album, Album Artist, Composer, Grouping, Last Played Date, Rating, Play Count, Artwork, Genre, Comments, and Year.

Use with caution. Both sets of selected tracks should be sorted by Play Order (or at the very least using the same sorting) so the tag info is copied in the correct order from and to the intended tracks.
