Hi all,

I ran across this thread while searching for a solution to my 'Tag Editing' dilemma. I have a bunch of files the look like this:

01 Bob Smith - His Greastest Works - His Greatest Works.mp3  
02 Mary Ann Farr - Golden Years - Golden Years.mp3  
03 etc.

These files have no Track, Artist, or Title tags. Using Convert Filename - Tag, I am able to get this split:

Track Title Artist

01 His Greastest Works - His Greatest Works Bob Smith  
02 Golden Years - Golden Years Mary Ann Farr

The thing I can't figure out is how to remove one of the duplicates being that they comprise the Title Tag and the number of words in the actual title vary by track.

Ultimately, I'm trying to get to here:

Track Title Artist

01 His Greastest Works Bob Smith  
02 Golden Years Mary Ann Farr

My wife and I have both been racking our brains on this for hours and hours.

We would be super grateful if someone could lend us a hand with this.

UPDATE - Please disregard this request. After posting, I came across

[/t/4798/1](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/4798/1)

I played around with %Dummy% a little bit and came up the the convert filename-tag expression

%track% %artist% %artist% - %title% - %dummy%

Works great. I just hadn't read enough before posting my question...oops. This forum is spot on!
