Please bear with me I'm new to using regular expressions.

What expression do you use to change 'The' Artist not Artist 'The'?

Thanks in advance.

What do you mean? Do you have audio files with tags that read "Rolling Stones The" and want to change it to "The Rolling Stones"?

No, the other way around. I want to change FROM "The Rolling Stones" to  
"Rolling Stones, The"

This is because my mp101 player anoyingly lists "The" artists under "T". Unless there is a way to change the setting.
