Got an interesting one.
Was helping a friend with mp3tag and all was well.
Until I get a call that starts with oops.
They’ve managed to somehow put most of the meta date into the title field…twice.
So it looks like this.
Ottawan - D.I.S.C.O. ( Dj Vivid 2025 remix ) 123 bpm - Ottawan - D.I.S.C.O. ( Dj Vivid Santana 2025 remix ) 123 bpm
Now I’ve been playing around with tag - tag
and I thought
%artist% - %title% -%mixartist% %bpm% - %dummy%
Should work, but it doesn’t it just puts the big title in the other fields.
Any help would be much appreciated and happy new year !

If the duplicated part of all titles ends with `bpm`, your friend can use an action **Replace with Regular Expression** for field `TITLE` with
Regular Expression: `^(.*? bpm).*`
Replace matches with: `$1`
* * *
What took me a while to realise is that the two parts in your example are no exact duplicates. The first instance has `Dj Vivid 2025 remix` and the second instance has `Dj Vivid Santana 2025 remix`.
If both parts would be exact duplicates, you could use a back-reference like
`^(.+?)(?:\s*-\s*\1)$`
and replace this with `$1`

Happy new year to you too!

That's because your [guessing pattern](https://docs.mp3tag.de/actions/guess/) does not exactly match the real values:
There is no space and minus character in front of `%mixartist%`, but parentheses around it.
And the field `BPM` should only contain a number, not **123 bpm**
If you were to use a guessing pattern like this:
`%artist% - %title% ( %mixartist% ) %bpm% bpm - %dummy%`
it could work.
As @Florian already wrote above, this only works, if the `TITLE`s of your friends tracks always contain the " **nnn bpm -**" part before the second "duplicated" part starts.
