I get the impression that using TAG is a shortcut in actions to updating many tags at the same time. Is there a way to add exclusions so that certain tags are not affected without going down the route of specifying every tag you do want to affect? For example, if I want to use capitalisation on eve…

user @sheepdisease knows that an action to modify the folder has to be in its own action group. The examples I supplied did not mention filename or directory for "guess value". Even though it is possible to (mis-)use "guess value" to work on several fields in one action I still think that code is …

After removing the code referring to directory it seems that was indeed the problem. The main purpose of the original post was to reduce the number of lines within actions. Even if that is just for changing brackets and a number of other functions then the code will serve its purpose. Surely if th…

Working code: [#0] T=7 F=$REPLACE(%ALBUM% \u003d\u003d\u003d %_FILENAME%,' (Album)',) 1=%ALBUM% \u003d\u003d\u003d %_FILENAME% [#1] T=7 F=$REPLACE(%ALBUM% \u003d\u003d\u003d %_FILENAME%,' (Digital Album)',) 1=%ALBUM% \u003d\u003d\u003d %_FILENAME% [#2] T=7 F=$REPLACE(%ALBUM% \u003d\u003d\u003d %_…

What I really want to do is combine the code used to change case of multiple tags with the combine code to ALBUMARTIST, ARTIST & ARTISTS so that I do not have to add duplicate words to multiple lists. Guess values: $replace(%ALBUMARTIST% === %ARTIST% === %ARTISTS%,'^(abba|adda|absrdst|acdc|ac dc|a…

I've been working through the code. I can properly implement one list using the fields ALBUMARTIST, ARTIST, ARTISTS & TITLE but executing this correctly has not yet been achieved. Guess values $replace(%ALBUMARTIST% === %ARTIST% === %ARTISTS% === %TITLE%,'^(abba|adda|absrdst|acdc|ac dc|akdong musi…

You already got the answer to this absolutely invalid syntax example in [image] Testing mp3tag behaviour Support I suggested before that you should test your expressions with the Convert>Tag-Tag function. The example that you give mixes IMHO the syntax for regular express…

This code has been updated since you responded originally. I have removed any reference to filename or directory. I have explained that I have tested it using convert, as I did in my original reply to you. %ARTISTS% is a field added by Itunes if I recall correctly. Would that cause a problem if a p…

[image] ohrenkino: The example that you give mixes IMHO the syntax for regular expressions and a normal replace. that is what is wrong with it. The original code proposed was: Guess value: Source: $replace('%title% === %ALBUM%','[','(',']',')') Target: %title% === %album% Corrected by @…
