Hi I have a bunch of files that are named like this: TRACK - ARTIST - TITLE Within the title is the year eg: 07 - jerry goldsmith - the list of adrian messenger (1963) I want to remove the year from the title & put it to the year field. I've been experimenting with a few actions ways, but can't seem to get it. Would love some help. Thanks ---

Unfortunately, you do not tell us which actions you tried in vain. I would go at it like this: create an action of the type "Import tag-field (Guess value)" for %title% Guessing pattern: %title% (%year%) If it is still the filename that we are talking about, use the function Convert\>Filename-Tag String: %track% - %artist% - %title% (%year%) ---
