i searched in the forum but didn't find a solution. some albums have at the end of the title brackets which includes "remastered", like (remastered in 2020) (remastered in 2022) (remastered in new york) (2016 remastered) (remastered edition) how can i create an action for a title with the logic:…

Another attempt would be to use a regular expression. This would include your 4th example with the leading year in brackets. You could use the Convert Tag -> Tag (Alt+5) with a preview Field: TITLE Format string: $regexp(%TITLE%,(.*)(\s$.*remastered.*$),$1) [image] Explanation: [image] S…

[image] music-laura: it is the title So it would be You could try an action of the type "Guess value" Source: %title% Target string: %title% (remastered%dummy%

[image] ohrenkino: %title% (remastered%dummy% thank you first of all. I switched "album" with "title" already and tried it but it does not work. the brackets as my example above remains.

You could try Target string: %title% (%dummy% But filter for the files in which you want to remove the parts in brackets first. The action is case-sensitive, BTW.

%title% (%dummy% works half way. because imagine the title is: Love (Live) (Remastered 2022) Your approach will also delete "(Live)". But this should stay. It also does not work when the year is at the beginning or something else like: (2013 Remastered) @LyricsLover your approach dos not w…

That is why I said [image] ohrenkino: But filter for the files in which you want to remove the parts in brackets first something like %title% HAS "remaster" AND %title% HAS "("

[image] music-laura: @LyricsLover your approach dos not work as well. Please let us know a real example where this not work for you.

I will try it now. Examples: Winds (Remastered 2023) Queen (Remastered) Va (2013 Remastered) Neshabur (Live) (Remastered 2022) Nel (Remastered in 2000)

[image] music-laura: Nel (Remastered in 2000) They all work fine: [Remove remastered text in brackets case insensitive] At least if you follow my advise above to make a regular expression caseINsensitive.

it worked, thank you. to summarize for future searches from other people: option 1: guess value: %title% (remastered%dummy%` it does not delete brackets where the word remastered is not at the beginning. Otherwise it works (e.g. "(remastered in 2022)" - it is case sensitive -all perfectly descr…

Delete in Title "(Remastered in year xxxx)"
