When cataloguing my audiobooks, I have Tag-Filename set up as: Artist - Series # - Title (Genre) (Bit Rate) (Format) But some (many) have varying bit-rates between files. So for example: J.K.

Perhaps you find something useful.

With respect to the problem of a number of artists becoming various artists: are the artists all stored in the field ARTIST or as a multi-value field ARTIST?  
Because: how do you cope with artists like "Earth, Wind & Fire", or (one of my favourites namewise) "Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich" - these are hardly "Various Artists".

Anyway: here is an expression that counts the commas in a field:  
`"$add($len($regexp(%artist%,'[^,]',)),1)"`  
So if it adds up to more than 2 you can replace ARTIST with "Various Artists".
