Hello,

How can I separate the text below, title field, and just stick with the track name?

Example: Bill Medley & Jennifer Warnes - (I've Had) The Time Of My Life

Thanks

Use an action of the type "Guess value" (import tag field)  
Source: %title%  
Pattern: %dummy% - %title%

(or if you want to put the artists into the artist field as well)  
Pattern: %artist% - %title%
