I have an artist tag field that looks like this:

"`Wolfang Mozart\\Artist Name, Artist Name, Artist Name`"

How do I replace the commas with `\\`

Can someone explain what the difference between Convert Tag - Tag and an action is?  
I've seen posts that are close to this that seem to suggest both.  
Thanks,  
Simon

"Convert" is an interactive way to achieve the same result as with the automated Action.  
Using the Convert Tag -\> Tag interactively is more for non-repetitive steps, where you like to see the result before you execute it.

Actions are for steps that you repeat again and again.

is the interactive equivalent to an action of the type "Format value".

Use an action of the type "Split field by separator"

> **[Split Field by Separator – Mp3tag Documentation](https://docs.mp3tag.de/actions/split-field/)**
>
> Documentation on the Split Field action type that can be performed as Quick Action or as reusable workflow from Action Groups. Mp3tag is the universal Tag Editor.

in which you use the comma-space as separator.
