Hello,

I'm a DJ and one of the places I get my music from doesn't always format the tags properly. For example. The TITLE field will say "We Can't Stop Miley Cyrus" and the ARTIST field will say "Miley Cyrus". Is there a way to remove "Miley Cyrus" from the TITLE?

The problem I am facing is that I have hundreds of files like this and the ARTIST is different for every file. I was wondering if there is a feature to remove part of the TITLE using the ARTIST field as the "source" of what I want removed.

So in the example above the ARTIST is "Miley Cyrus" and I want "Miley Cyrus" removed from " We Can't Stop Miley Cyrus"

Another example is I have "Cruel Summer Taylor Swift" as the TITLE and I want "Taylor Swift" removed from the title

Thank you for any guidance on getting this done

Try Convert\>Tag-Tag for TITLE  
Format string: `$replace(%title%,%artist% ,)`
