hey guys thanks for taking time out to help.
alot of the music i buy is pre-tagged and is almost the way id like it but that one little detail forces me to manually change each individual file and can be time consuming when dealing with 50 odd tracks at a time.
for example the tracks i get have the title tagged like so....
```
Disco Rout - Freeformreform
Knock Em Back - Original Mix
```
what i would like is for them to be tagged like this....
```
Disco Rout (Freeformreform)
Knock Em Back (Original Mix)
```
what would be the code needed to make that possible, and which action would i use to make it happen?
cheers, marty 😉
