Hi
I am having some trouble trying to reformat some tags.
Currently I have tags in the the following format: -
Title: Artist / Title
Artist: Various Artists
Can you advise me of a method of stripping out the '/' and re-formatting to: -
Title: Title
Artist: Artist
Thanks
Paul

Make a [new action](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/967/1)
_Action type:_ **Guess values**
_Source format:_ **%title%**
_Guessing pattern:_ **%artist% / %title%**

That works like a dream - Thanks
I had tried a combination of reformat actions, but had not seen the 'Guess Values' action.

This new action works fine en quick!
Normaly I do this...
Change value in title / to -
then tag \> filename (trackno - title)
then filename \> tag (trackno - artist - title)
