Hi, this is my filename:  
Artist1; Artist2 - Title [Artist3].mp3

I want to add Artist3 to %Artist% tag to have:  
**%Artist%** : Artist1; Artist2; Artist3  
**%Title%** : Title

I have tried this guessing\_pattern:  
%artist% - %title% [%artist%]

But it only returns me the last %artist% (artist3) and I want all of them (artist1; artist2; artist3). Should I use other action?

I am Sorry for my bad english. Thank you

If you rename the filename ... for example ... using replace ... from ' - ' to '; - ' ...  
from: Artist1; Artist2 - Title [Artist3].mp3  
to: Artist1; Artist2; - Title [Artist3].mp3

... then you can apply ...  
Convert: "Filename - Tag"  
Formatstring: %artist% - %title% [%artist%]  
... and the result will be ...  
TITLE=Title  
ARTIST=Artist1; Artist2; Artist3
