How to Sync Playlist to SD Card & Modify Tag During Move

[NoahTheDuke]

Sorry for the combo title, I want to make sure others can find it.

I use beets to organize all my music. I made an .m3u playlist with ~800 songs, and I want to sync them to an sd card. I use beets move -e playlist:music_for_player -d /Volumes/mp3_player and they're copied over, which is great. However, my mp3 player does not use $albumartist, it uses $artist for sorting and separation and display, meaning that my Charlie XCX album is listed under multiple artists, one for each Charlie XCX feat. SOME_ARTIST.

I'd like to be able to perform the move and also apply a change/normalization to the moved files, replacing $artist with $albumartist. Is this possible?
