What action can I use to remove duplicate Artist from an id tag?
Expression
All duplicates are separated by "`` \`"
The topic from 12/2010 did not work for me.
Here are a few examples:
`Pixie Lott\\Pixie Lott`
`Coldplay\\Coldplay`

If you mean this thread:

You may notice that those artists had a forward slash and were not displayed with a backward slash like yours.
Try an action of the type "Remove duplicate fields" for ARTIST.
