I've made an action, basically works fine except \ (which shows as a dbl slash on screen but only single here???) that aren't in existing artist tags sometimes seem to appear when I drop a file into MP3Tag. Trying to replace that with space or nothing seems to fail in terms of what MP3Tag show BUT renaming files the \ and what follows it don't appear. So...it seems to not work in one way but does work in another. How can I fix this?
The double backslash is MP3tag's way to show multi-value fields.
Check the extended tags dialogue for such a file and you will see several fields of the same type.
Before you process all instances of such a field, it is often helpful to create an action to "Merge duplicate fields".
see
Use a separator different from the double backslash when merging.
Excellent, some new stuff to investigate and learn there - I had no idea you could have duplicates of a field but now I know. All fixed and working, thanks!
