Hello. Right now in the Artist column i have for example Mariah Carey Feat. abc, Mariah Carey feat. def, Mariah Carey Feat. xyz etc. etc. I want to keep Mariah Carey in the column, but move Feat. NN. I want it removed to the Title column. Example: Before TITLE: O Come All Ye Faithful / Halleluja…

[image] Phixion: If I enter the artists manually and use \ to separate it works fine, if I use a replace action to replace ", " between the artists with \ then It doesn't separate them into individual artists. Just press the save-button after the replace-action.

[image] ohrenkino: OK: then try it with these steps: Strip the feat-artist from title and save it in a user-defined field, e.g. %feat_artist%. Use an action of the type "Guess value" (import tag field) for that: Field: %artist% Guessing pattern: %artist% (feat. %feat_artist%) Append the fie…

[image] hypersucker: Tried this, didnt work the way I would like it to. I would say that at least [image] hypersucker: Use an action of the type "Guess value" (import tag field) for that: Field: %artist% Guessing pattern: %artist% (feat. %feat_artist%) should have worked for [im…

So, I think I got the action for unifying working. How do I make it not do anything if there's no featuring part at all. Right now it just adds (feat. ) to every title where there was no featuring part in the Artist field.

[image] hypersucker: it just adds (feat. ) to every title where there was no featuring part If you have used the Feat_artist field, then filter for tracks that have got this field %feat_artist% PRESENT and apply the moving action only to these files. Or filter for files that have feat in A…

Uhm...how do I add a filter as an action? Or am I understanding this wrong?

There is no action to activate a filter. If you apply a filter first, you can see if it is necessary at all to start the switching action. If there are no hits, don't do it. And if there are, then the action is only applied to the filtered ones which should speed up processing. Just a footnote: …

[SNAG-0000] Ok, let's see if I got this right. So you mean, run that action group but without the last line on the whole enchilada - because we need to create and populate the feat_artist field, right? - then filter the result by %feat_artist% PRESENT and apply the last step of the action group on…

[image] hypersucker: Just wondering if there isn't an easier way to do this without splitting the action group/manual intervention.. You could apply the filter before you start the action group. It's a different filter, though: %artist% MATCHES (featuring|feat.|ft.)

Goodie, that works just fine. 2 things, I cant save/name a filter string, right? And is there a way in the replace action to tell it capitalisation doesn't matter? e.g. it picks feat. and Feat. or do I have to do actions for each? I didn't tick the "case sensitive comparison" but the action ignore…
