Multiple Artists in Filename

Support
1

Hi,

I have mp3s with multiple artists, each artist recorded in individual tags. MP3Tag displays these in one column with each artist separated by "\". I understand that the "\" is MP3Tags way of displaying multiple artist tags in one column. So far, so good. But I want to change the file name so it is "artist1 and artist2".
For example, the song Tell Him by Barbra Streisand and Celine Dion has Barbra Streisand in one artist tag and Celine Dion in another artist tag. These display in MP3Tag as "Barbra Streisand\Celine Dion". This is perfectly correct. However, the current file name is "Tell Him.mp3" and I want to change it to "Barbra Streisand & Celine Dion - Tell Him.mp3". I can do this manually but as I have several files with similar issues (i.e. multiple artists missing from file name) I was hoping I could fix this with the Tag - Filename Convert function, but I can't get that to work - I've used this function to change hundreds of filenames with single artists but can't see a way to work with multipole artists.

Is this possible?

Glenn

Unfortunately, you do not tell us which format string you use to create the filename.
Assuming that you have %artist% in it somewhere, replace this with
$meta_sep(artist, & )
and see if you get all the artists.

Thank you very much. Yes, I was using %artist%. Your solution worked perfectly.
