switching artist-song fields

when I did a bunch of conversions from mp3g to kma too many songs and titles were in the wrong field..e.g. hinder would be under song.....is there a program or an easy way to change these files without going through every one by one through the edit on here...I know of programs which will do the mp3g's but not .kma...anyone with any ideas.....this is way to time comsuming as it is

Re: switching artist-song fields

Did you use Songverter to convert these?
If so you should do them again, but first open Microstudio and go to Tools/Define Field Order. Set the correct order in it for the songs that are incorrect. Then go back to Songverter and run them again (after you delete those KMA files) to convert them.
The real question is why are you doing this? Songverter does not assign any BookID so that when you add them to Hoster it will assign the BookID and you have no control over what Hoster assigns.

This is why using Songverter to convert to KMA is a bad idea. Future releases of Songverter will not have that capability.
If you are trying to make sure that the files are imported as KMA and not as KMH as MP3+G would be, then convert them to BIN. After importing into Hoster then you can delete the BIN files as you already have the MP3+G on original disk.
