Hey guys

I'm in the process of tagging all of my karaoke songs so that when i create a list (using mp3tag) everything is named properly and is searchable etc etc

Now the problem i have is that a lot of my artists are name with the surname before the first name, with the two seperated by a comma eg.

Williams, Robbie

or

Lennon, John

is there anyways i can get mp3tag to automatically switch these around?

Your help would be hugely appreciated

Many Thanks
