Hi, all

I am wanting to remove an annoying trait that a certain label (Pornostar) does with their album names. They include the artist's name in the album name and I'd like to remove it at the click of a button. Is this possible?

Example:  
Originally "DCP, Fellous - Symphonica ( Crazibiza, Cheesecake Boys Remix )"  
Ideally "Symphonica ( Crazibiza, Cheesecake Boys Remix )"

TIA

You could use the Action “Guess Values”  
Source `%album%`  
Guessing pattern `%dummy% - %album%`

If you need to repeat this often, you can create a custom action with this same function, and simply call this action to run it quickly whenever you need it.

\*Sidenote: If you need to move this data to the AlbumArtist field, if it is missing, you can use this pattern instead;  
Guessing pattern `%albumartist% - %album%`
