I have a set of MP3 albums bought from Amazon, but one thing I've noticed is that my MP3 players tend to sort them by the album name only, which is quite frustrating as the genres and artists are all over the place. What's worse is that the word "The" is included when sorting the names, which should…

If you want to get rid of the "The" use an action of the type "Replace with regular expression" for ALBUM Enter as search string: ^The (add a blank as last character) Enter as replace string: (leave that empty) But concerning the "special characters" I have no clue what you mean. If you add th…

Only that part of a piece of data that matches the search criteria is replaced. If you want to treat only files that match a certain substring t…
