Is it possible to separate artists by a comma? "," Like: artist1, artist2, artist3 $loop(%artist%,1)%artist% Export multiple album artists without commas Like: artist1 artist2 artist3 Thanks in advance ---

> [@veggera](#): > > $loop(%artist%,1)%artist% is missing the $loopend(). so, `$loop(%artist%,1)%artist% $loopend()` should produce a list of names with no comma in between. WIll be hard to read, though. ---

Here is my export file ``` $filename(txt,utf-8) %album% $loop(%artist%,1) %artist% $loopend() REMIXERS: $loop(%mixartist%,1) %mixartist% $loopend() ``` %publisher% - %genre% But on Various Artist albums, all artist generated without separated by commas Arude Binaryh Blancah Clawz SG Jobe Kris Davis Mashk Nick Devon Soul Button Soul Button, Nick Devon I want to see it like: Arude, Binaryh, Blancah, Clawz SG, Jobe, Kris Davis, Mashk, Nick Devon, Soul Button Is that possible? Thank you, Gregory ---

isn't this the same problem as here: > [@Export configuration for multiple artists](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/export-configuration-for-multiple-artists/40992/4): > > Yes, because in there is no comma. it should be $loop(%artist%,1) %artist%, $loopend() I am not sure what the is doing in that code as it concludes a \ which I do not see. ---

@ohrenkino this script $loop(%artist%,1)%artist% $loop(%album%,1)%album% $loopend() $loopend() gives me unfortunately the following: artist a album a album b artist b album a album b but i want to have the following: artist a - album a artist a - album b artist b - album a artist b - album b OK i found it: $loop(%artist%,1)%artist%$loop(%album%,1)%artist% - %album% $loopend()$loopend() ---

I do not know which other data you have - so it could be that you can filter for files that do not have set COMPILATION = 1. Or you have "Various Artists" as ALBUMARTIST - so filter for this criterion. Or use ALBUMARTIST instead of ARTIST in your export ... Or do not include the folder with compilations in the list of files before you start the export. Things like that. ---

that code is even better, because the last code listed the artist first additionally $loop(%artist%,1)$loop(%album%,1)%artist% - %album% $loopend()$loopend()
