Hiya.

I have a number of tracks that have 'featured artists' listed in the Artist field, which causes problems with my iPod library.

I am using the following action to move the artists into the title.

So **Stephen Feat. James - Fake Song** would then become **Stephen - Fake Song (Stephen Feat. James)**

I would like to clean things up even more, by removing 'Stephen' aka the %albumartist% field from the title, but I can't seem to figure out a way to do it. I thought I should be able to do a simple Replace and set the original to %albumartist%, but that doesn't work.

Any suggestions?

Thank you!

p.s. I have seen a lot of reference to the guess values action type, but I don't seem to have that...

Oh I figured it out.

'Guess Values' is 'Import Tag Fields' on Mac.

The following did the trick:
