A white space normally is not such a unique seperator, because a tag-field may have a lot of white spaces. In this special case with only one white space it will work. To get the tags TRACK, ARTIST and TITLE out of this artist-tag your pattern has to look like this: %track% %artist% - %title% If you don't want to extract one or more of these tags out of the artist-tag you have to replace these tag-variables that you don't want with %dummy%. If you want to learn how to work with these patterns use the convert-menue "Filename - Tag". There you have a preview and you can experiment. ---
