Hi,

Currently I have some Titles in the format:

Artist / Title (e.g. Michael Jackson / Thriller)

I would like to write some code to move the Artist to the Artist Field and keep the title in the Title field

So I end up with

Michael Jackson

Thriller

Hope you can help!

Thanks

You have to look whether "/" is a delimiter between artist and title in all cases.

Define an action of the type "Guess Values".  
Source Format: %title%  
Guessing pattern: %artist% / %title%
