Hi,
I have some files with two ARTIST tags (i.e. when shown in MP3TAG, the ARTIST tag looks like "Artist1\\Artist2")
I'm trying to create an Action that takes the second ARTIST "Artist2", appends it to the TITLE field as "feat. Artist2" and then removes that second ARTIST field
The first part is done using the Format Function:
Field = TITLE
Format = %TITLE% feat. $meta(artist,1)
This works fine
What I'm trying to do now, is delete the second ARTIST tag completely, leaving me with:
ARTIST = Artist1
TITLE = Title feat. Artist2
I'm trying to delete the second ARTIST field using a Remove Fields Action:
Fields = $meta(artist,1)
But this isn't working
Any help would be really appreciated, thank you...

I _think_ using Remove Duplicate fields: ARTIST
( I left "Only duplicate fields with same content" unchecked)
This seems to do the trick...
