Replace Artist with ArtistS

Support

Hi simple request but after many forum searches and attempts myself i cant figure it out sorry.

I would like to make an action to replace the contents of ARTIST with ARTISTS then blank ARTISTS.

I tried format value but in many cases my ARTISTS tags have more than one value and it just takes the first value. Id like to preserve the multi-value aspect of the tag once put into ARTIST.

Thankyou in advance

Create an action of the type "Format value" or use Convert>Tag-Tag for ARTIST
Format String: $meta_sep(artists,\\)

Then delete the field ARTISTS

Ok that worked thankyou.

I used Format Value, Format Field: Artist, Format String: $meta_sep(artists,\\)
Then added a s second task to the action, Remove Field: Artists

Seemed to work well. I do have to be careful though not to run the action on any songs ive already processed otherwise itll overwrite the Artist field with a blank!

Thanks again

You could filter for files that have the ARTISTS field with
artists PRESENT
