I'm sure I'm just missing it, but I have not figured out how to split the Comment field into two separate fields. The comments contain regular comments until "Lyrics:" and then "Lyrics:" is followed by the lyrics. I am trying to copy the lyrics to the UNSYNCEDLYRICS tag and remove them from the COMM…

I've fixed the issue and added support for matching multiline input with Mp3tag for Mac v1.7.3 . Thanks again for taking the time to report this issue!

Thanks for the suggestion. I should have mentioned I also tried Import Tag Fields. I suspect maybe I'm using it incorrectly. I did read the guide with Florian's example for Mac and the Windows version (same example), but I must be missing something. I have tried this: Source format: %comment% Lyric…

[image] Arbiter: I have also tried: Source format: %comment% Formatstring: %comment% Lyrics: %unsyncedlyrics% Looks a lot more plausible. The basic idea is that the action "Import Tag fields" works almost like the Converter Filename-Tag - only that you can set which string should be the so…

I guess that would have helped to add an example comment, so here it is: https://chronopolis.ocremix.org Chronopolis: Music Inspired by Chrono Cross Lyrics: I'm drifting so far away I really think I'm astray All so foreign, yet familiar to me Where did I go? Where could you be? In this world, I …

I just tried: [grafik] Source: %comment% Format string:%comment%Lyrics:%unsyncedlyrics% and that worked for your example.

[image] ohrenkino: %comment%Lyrics:%unsyncedlyrics% Thanks for testing. I tried it again. Nothing changed. I copied the formatting text directly from your comment and tried again. Nothing changed. I restarted MP3Tag and tried again. Nothing changed. I'm at a loss why this isn't working. I'm …

From now on I cannot help you any more - This is the result I got with the above example text in COMMENT: [grafik] [grafik] So the only explanation would be that the separator still does not match or that the way that you enter the fields on a Mac is different from the way it is done in the Wi…

I appreciate your help either way. I just finished testing in the Windows version through a VM and it is working perfectly. I'm wondering if there is an issue with Windows versus Unix line endings or something. I've been trying to avoid using the Windows version, but apparently that is necessary in …

It seems to be an issue with the newline characters that are handled differently on Mac and I'll have to adjust the parser to also match those. Thanks for pointing and I'll keep you posted!

Thanks for fixing it so quickly and confirming I'm not looney. :wink:

Unable to split multiline comment field

Mac

I think you are using the wrong action.
Split tag field splits existing data in 1 field into several fields of the same type.

I think the correct action would be
Import tag fields
