Hi Friends
Does anyone know how to remove text in brackets from a song title.
I have a few tracks that are labelled something like this
**Beat Dis (12" Extended)**
I want to remove all text inside the brackets as well as the brackets themselves so I am left with just
**Beat Dis**
I would appreciate any assitance
Peace to you all

Hello,
the MTA looks very useful, but dont have a clue how to include this in mp3tag.
Is it as 'replace' or 'replace with regular exprewssion' or someother action.
Look forward to your reply.
Thasnks and Regards

CLose mp3tag
download the file above
move it to
%appdata%\mp3tag\data\actions
(copy this to the clipboard and paste it to the explorer's address toolbar, press enter)

Hey Fanzant1
just copy the \*.MTA file into the actions directory, my path is as follows
C:\Users\your profile name\AppData\Roaming\Mp3tag\data\actions
I am using Windows 7 if your using Windows XP change the **C:\Users** to **c:\documents and settings**
Once you have copied over the \*.mta file you will see it appear in the MP3Tag Actions options.
Hope this helps

You can with a little adjustment clone the existing action, and edit it slightly so that it removes the bracketts in the artists column, so then you have both options covered.
