Try this, it works but if you run this twice you end up with: _%title%:_ "Cantaloop - US3 - US3" _Action type:_ **Format value** _Field:_ **TITLE** _Formatstring:_ **%title% - %artist%** **###EDIT###** This one works as many times as you want without appending to the _%title%_ like above: _Action type:_ **Format value** _Field:_ **TITLE** _Formatstring:_ **$if($and(%TITLE%,%ARTIST%),$if($eql($right(%TITLE%,$len( - %ARTIST%)), - %ARTIST%),%TITLE%,%TITLE% - %ARTIST%),%TITLE%)** ---
