ARTIST versus TITLE doubles After I have searched the forum about the topic "featuring", I managed to solve most of my issues. Currently I would like to solve the following remaining task: Remove the double indication of an ARTIST in the TITLE. Dups in just one field are discussed and solved al…

I would (as always when there are complicated conditions) first filter for the data. E.g.with "$ifgreater($strstr(%title%,$regexp(%artist%,(.*); (.*),$2)),0,yes,no)" IS yes (which filters whether the second artist is part of the TITLE) And then remove the bits that describe the featured artist. …

Ohrenkino, as I have experienced several times, you are an expert on regexp. However, I am not interested in finding the songs in question, but about correcting them.

Multiple ARTIST is okay, Duplicate ARTIST not.

I know :wink: There are different ways if you have multiple ARTIST tags or only one. Could you please check it or show us a screenshot?

[FEAT-3232] This is the discussed item. (The final script divides ARTIST in multiple entries.) Here comes another one: [FEAT-3242] Here is another example, even worse: [FEAT-3252]

See e.g. this thread: [image] Cleaning up duplicated text inside artist tag Support I have few mp3s with messed up tags where the same data is duplicated in the artist field. [image] As this picture shows, "Bleachers" is written two times as Artist, anyway to clean this…
