Hi I would like to know if there is any action "am sure there is 😄" to format the title value. The form is: **Jackie Chan - M-22 Remix (Dirty)** Result should be: **Jackie Chan (M-22 Remix) (Dirty)** Also i am not sure if this makes any difference but i want to do the same to songs which they don't have the (Clean) or (Dirty) at the end, for example: Original Value: **Don't Leave Me Alone - Oliver Heldens Remix** Result should be: **Don't Leave Me Alone (Oliver Heldens Remix)** ---

Create an action that replaces the dash-blank with "(". Create a second action that replaces the "Remix" with "Remix)". You can have both actions in a single action group. ---

F\*\*k, this is so simple... 😆 Thanks for the help once again! But I have a problem if the word at the end is different Example: **Pricey - Club Hack Hype Intro (Clean)** Or when the title is like that: **Tiguere - DJ Drew Remix (Short Edit - Clean)** Changes to: **Tiguere (DJ Drew Remix) (Short Edit (Clean)** But i wanted to be: **Tiguere (DJ Drew Remix) (Short Edit - Clean)** I can understand the i can do the same as for the "Remix" word for any of the words like "intro" or "Edit" then i would have this results: **Pricey (Club Hack Hype Intro) (Clean)** **Tiguere (DJ Drew Remix) (Short Edit) (Clean)** ---

MP3tag does not read but treats patterns. These patterns usually consist of letters and other printable characters. If the patterns do not match the search criteria - nothing happens. If the patterns are not unique then the changes happen as often as the pattern is detected. You can limit the number of treated files with a filter, so that in that filtered selection a pattern is unique again. Otherwise, you get perfect examples of the GIGO principle. And another note: the brackets are probably not the best separators for otherwise non-title data as the brackets can also be part of ordinary language writing (e.g.: Pink Floyd: Pigs (three different ones)). So if you regularly find a classification like "edit", "remix", "dub" etc., I would consider e.g. {} as separators. The same applies to "(clean)" which seems like an awful lot of letters for just a single property. To sum it up: the cases where the original actions failed are an indicatior for me that the patterns should be streamlined so that they become unique each for a special purpose. ---
