Removing Artist Name!

Support
1

Hi everyone,
I am VERY new to all of this and could really do with some help!

I have filenames like this: (10cc - Donna.mp3) All I want to do is remove the 10cc bit in the filename, so that it finishes up like: Donna.mp3. I am really stuck, and going around in circles...please help if you have time! Quite a number of tracks so it would help such a lot to do them on mass!

Regards,
Raystr.

This looks a lot like the problem you had here:

And once you have filled the tags, then simply rewirte the filename with the data you like. Use COnverter>Tag-Filename
Format string: %title%

No mate - I managed to do the above but now, need to remove the artist from the filename - sorry to confuse you ohrenkino - at the moment I have it like this:
Filename Title Artist
10cc - Donna.mp3 Donna 10cc

What I really want is:
Filename Title Artist
Donna.mp3 Donna 10cc

Hope this helps - Thank You so much for your help - really appreciated!

Regards,
Raystr

Do you already have the correct tag field information in these files? If so, you can simply use the Converter Tag>Filename and use fields like %title% to fill in how you want them to look.

Thank You MotleyG - I will give it a try - I don't do bad for a 70+ learner but I am getting there!

Thanks again,

Tried but no good - Used Filename/Tag with %title% as the string but it simply duplicates the Filename (10cc - Donna) into the Title field. All I want to do is remove the 10cc from the filename completely to leave Donna.mp3 as the filename.

Hope this helps,
Raystr

You probably want to try the convert Tag>Filename since you already have the tag, and want to change the filename. Using Filename>Tag grabs the text from the current filename and puts that into the tag fields.

Thanks mate - I'll give it a try - get to bed now, it's late...
Much appreciated,

Not on my side of the world (Toronto Canada):canada:

I would assume that if you have just "Donna" in TITLE that the Converter>Tag-Filename will write only "Donna" as filename if you use
Format string: %title%

So please read carefully and do not mix Converter>Tag-Filename and Converter>Filename-Tag.
