Is there a way to flip them back.  There used to be a plugin called the master that handled it iirc but I can't seem to find any plugins by kingsparta anymore?  If I deselect the radio box for move articles it simply does nothing.

I am like halfway to getting my library setup I don;t want to have to start from scratch.

Can you clarify how the Names are now, and how you want them to be?

[kaiynne]

Yeah, I want artists to follow the convention "smiths, the" but i don't want the songs to look like "boy with the thorn in his side, the" but I can't seem to reverse it on the songs names.

[MrC]

Select the appropriate tracks, and enter this expression exactly into the Name field of the Tag Action Window:

  =if(Regex([name], /#^(.+), (The)$#/), [R2] [R1], [name])

This will convert track names such as "boy with the thorn in his side, the" into "the boy with the thorn in his side".

You can create an expression column first to test, just remove the initial = char and use the remainder as the expression.

Thanks for that, I had completely forgotten that JRiver supports Regex, now I just need to bone up on my syntax...

Seems like having this expression to reverse the article mover intregrated would be worthwhile though, I rechecked and a fair amount of my files had "the" appended to the end of the name before I even did this, so regardless I would have needed a way to keep the naming convention consistent.
