Hallo

Some mp3 has 2 year tags.  
The tag panel show "2007\\2007"  
The advanced tags panel shows 2 year tags with value 2007.  
How can I filter for those mp3?

Egon

Filter:

**"$len($meta(YEAR,1))" GREATER 0 ... or ... NOT "$meta(YEAR,1)" IS ""**

To remove all meta values without the first value ...  
Action: Format value  
Field: YEAR  
Formatstring: **$meta(YEAR,0)'\\'**
