I have an Issue, I learned how to copy artist to albumartist but i have multiple artist when its copies over.  
heres the artist layout

J Alvarez / Jory Boy / Boy Wonder Cf

after copying over using format action I would like to delete every artist after the first one.  
So i just want  
J Alverez  
and not  
J Alvarez / Jory Boy / Boy Wonder Cf

Try Convert\>Tag-Tag for ALBUMARTIST  
Format string: `$regexp(%albumartist%,(.*?) \/.*,$1)`
