Greetings. I not sure if I need to use regex or $replace(string,from,to) ...
Anyway, KEXP songs of the day have track metadata as follows:
'artist - title' as the title; and just
'artist' as artist.
I want to delete the 'artist -' references from the title .
Can anyone assist?
Kind regards.
see e.g. here:
Preferred way: fill tags, then write new filename with tag field contents.
Let's assume you have a song with the title ABBA - Waterloo and ABBA as artist.
You could use the Convert Tag -> Tag (ALT + 5 ) and this format string:
$repl(%TITLE%,%artist% - ,)
This only works, if your existing content in the artist tag is exactly the same as the content before the - in the title.
If you really want to rename your track (= the filename) please follow @ohrenkino's advice.
Perfect and much appreciated.
Thank you.
