Modify this to your needs ...

**$ifgreater($strchr('0123456789',$left(%ARTIST%,1)),0,'0 - 9', $ifgreater($strchr('ABCDEabcde',$left(%ARTIST%,1)),0,'A - E', $ifgreater($strchr('FGHIJKfghijk',$left(%ARTIST%,1)),0,'F - K', $ifgreater($strchr('LMNOPQRlmnopqr',$left(%ARTIST%,1)),0,'L - R', $ifgreater($strchr('STUVWXYZstuvwxyz',$left(%ARTIST%,1)),0,'S - Z','Special')))))**
