Hi,

I've got a compilation with tags as follows:

- title --\> ARTIST / TITLE
- artist --\> Various

I tried to define a new action which should give

- title --\> TITLE
- artist --\> ARTIST

for all tracks, but I failed. Any help here? Many thanks

use format to get the ablum artist to Various 1st. (Run only once)  
Format field: ALBUM ARTIST  
field: %artist%

then use guess values to get the next result you require.  
Guess field: %title%  
value: %artist% / %title%

test on 1 file 1st. Im on my phone so haven't tested it.
