Copy Artist to Title and include brackets

Support
#1

Hi guys,

I am re-tagging some various artists albums and would like to copy the current artist name in the ARTIST field to the TITLE field and include brackets.

Example:-

Before Tagging

Artist: Kazusa & Shingo Nakamura
Title: Dice

After Tagging

Title: Dice (Kazusa & Shingo Nakamura)

Appreciate any suggestions as to how I could do this via 'Actions'.

Cheers

See the FAQs /t/967/1
Create an action of the type "Format value" for TITLE
Format string: %title% (%artist%)

and even though this is possible - I would not do it. As the brackets are no valid separator if you ever want to get rid of the artist in the title again. Too many titles also contain a string in brackets that is not the artist.

I do no know any player that cannot at least display artist and title so that merging the 2 fields is not necessary.
If you want to get a filename with both pieces of data, use the Convert>Tag-Filename function
Format string: %title% (%artist%)
