For this example, let’s decide to change all of our Artist names from Upper Case to Mixed Case. The second drop down box displays the kind of change you will make. The first drop down box simply asks what field you want to mass change. ![]() When the Mass Changer box pops up, you will see two drop down boxes and a Properties section down at the bottom. The Mass Changer is actually very simple to use but very powerful in its ability to save time. Clicking on that brings up the Mass Changer box. If you right click at the top of the field right on the field name itself, you will see the Mass Changer in the context menu. First things first how do you get to the Mass Changer in MusicMaster for Windows? Well, when you look at the library you should see all of the fields for a song that you currently have in your layout. And if that’s the only way you can do it, I would bet you’d say to yourself, “…not worth it.” Well, in MusicMaster, that is a lot easier and this week, I want to make you aware of the Mass Changer in MusicMaster because it can save you more time than you might imagine.

Please remember to back up your data before you utilize this tool, and don’t hesitate to contact us if we can assist in advising on the best option for your project.

Options available to you (again depending on field type) include:Ĭonvert to UPPER, lower, mixed case case.Įxtract sub-string and delimited sub-strings.

These fields include:Īdd Date, Category, Category Plays, Dayparting, Library Plays, Non-Music, Packet, Performance, and Song ID. If the field does not allow mass changes, the option will not appear.
