Why are some ppl insisiting on putting the artist name in the name of the song? I mean, it's just there to the right in the Artist field anyway. Just asking  ?

[MrC]

Rebels?

Or maybe so that weak audio players that display track name only can display both the track and artist name.

Mr C..

How about a nice expression to remove those names if in the format above??

please..

The Find and Replace dialog is just peachy for this kind of work.  Select the tracks, and enter into Find and Replace the following (without the quotes):

   Find what: " - Serj Tankian"
   Replace: ""

   Fields selected: Name

Thanks... but,

I have some ripped music videos that I put the artist name in, one name per file.. any wild card like "* - " so I do not have to type each name per file?

[rick.ca]

Replace([Name], / - [Artist])

[MrC]

In case [Artist] no longer matches, if you just need to remove everything after and including a final space-dash-space , you can use:

  if(Regex([Name], /#^(.+) - (.*)$#/), [R1], [Name])

Thanks guys... Got it...

ha ha, great regex's, I'll try them next time I end up with one of those annoying tags. I've resubmitted the Harakiri album w/o the artist in the name, allowing others the option in the future...
