I have a lot (500+) of podcasts with album tags like:

Coast To Coast AM August 31st 2010  
Coast To Coast AM September 4th 2010  
Coast To Coast AM December 29th 2010

I want to shorten all the months into Jan, Feb, Sept, Dec etc.

I know the following will amend a single month

Replace "ALBUM": "August "-\> ""

Is there a way of combining all 12 replacements into a single action?

Many Thanks!

Steve 45

Hint: Studying the Mp3tag manual and looking around in the forum messages and FAQ area can be a good help.

You can use the function "$replace()" together with the action "Format Value".  
Please explain what is the advantage against 12 actions calls collected in one action group?
