+1.

(By the way, this was just sort of implemented in 3.2 for Genre)

for text boxes that have mixed values, MB now shows a drop-down arrow where you can select any of the excluded values

Great! Thank you!
And what about the main fields "artist" and a field "comments"?

they are both intentionally excluded, although on further thought i could probably do comment

It's a pity that won't work for the "artist", the main functions I think just the "artist" and "album".

What are your plans for artwork mixed?

"Artist" would be a disaster waiting to happen IMO.  A lot of us have multiple performers listed there, and it almost never matches across multiple tracks, even for an album.

EDIT: Don't know if it belongs here or in a dedicated thread, but it seems related.  Being able to update "Date Added" in bulk - with a selection menu that lists all the different ones used across the selected files - is very, very nice. 

My one small improvement request is to add "Now" as one of the selections as a convenience shortcut to manually typing the current date and time.
