I'm hoping there is an easy way to do this, I would like to batch delete all Sort Artist and Sort Album tags from my music library. These tags were leftover from when I was using iTunes and the tags cause sorting issues with some music organizing apps, some apps ignore them and some don't. Thanks!

This is a one line action. Download the action at:

https://2manyrobots.com/actions/Clear-two-Sort-Fields.zip

The action consists of a single Clear statement:

Clear the Sort Album and Sort Artist fields

Start the Batch Processor Wizard from the Actions menu.

- Select the Clear two Sort Fields action from the drop down control
- hit Next
- from the Finder drag over the root of your collection (or use the Choose button)
- hit Next
- check Auto save files
- check Verbose log
- hit Start

You can test it first by loading some files and running the action directly (Actions>User Defined>Clear two Sort Fields).
