I have a dilemma and I can't figure out to do this.

I have 3000+ MP3s that I want to tag in a different naming convention than they are currently.

**Right now, each Artist and Title is listed like this:**  
**Artist:** Artist Name  
**Title:** Song Name [Producer Name]

However, I'm trying to make the [Producer Name] move to the Artist field (but without the brackets) and the Artist name move into parenthesis after the Song Title, so it reads like this:  
**Artist:** Producer Name  
**Title:** Song Name (Artist Name)

How can I set it up to batch process this?

Try an action of the type "Guess value"  
Source: `$regexp(%artist%==%title%,'(.*)==(.*)\[(.*)\]','$3==$2 ($1)')`  
Target: `%artist%==%title%`
