How to make loop of artist within file

Hi guys,

I searched few hours and looked up some topics but didn't get what I exactly want.

Actually I have album as:

Track01 - Artist1, Artist2
Track02 - Artist2, Artist3
Track03 - Artist4, Artist3
Track04 - Artist1, Artist4
Track05 - Artist3, Artist4

I want to put all of the artists from artist field into ALBUMARTISTSORT field as a loop as:

Artist1, Artist2, Artist3, Artist4

or make the loop as they are as:

Artist1, Artist2, Artist2, Artist3, Artist4, Artist3, Artist1, Artist4, Artist3, Artist4

When I export the tag I use this syntax as:

$loop(%_filename_ext%) $replace(%artist%,&,&), $loopend()

and it makes the loop perfectly but I want to put it within the file with any action.

I already had a look at the topic as:

/t/14438/1

/t/14390/1

but didn't get what I want.

Please suggest me how to do.

Thanks in advance.

For such a task there is no other way within Mp3tag as to export data, modify data within the export script, and later import the resulting data into the tag within the audio file by applying "Convert Textfile to Tag".

Please study and apply this proposal ...
Listing all Artists from Album into One Tag Field
... and try out the other offered export scripts too.

What is the real problem?
Do you really want to use the ALBUMARTISTSORT field to sort the album artists? Or is it some kind of other field?
Because collecting all artists from all track of a sampler does not make real sense to me.

Anyway: if you have several artists in several ARTIST fields, you can merge these multivalue fields to one and export that. Because like this, you will probably get only the first ARTIST.

Also: would it be worth to loop around the artist name instead of the filename? THis would rule out duplicates if you use the ",1)" syntax for $loop().
MP3tag does not know anything about the previous or the next track. So it is not possible to compare, copy or move data between files (unless you do it manually).
If you want to do that, you have to use the export function and process the data there.
