Title: Flip Flop Artist Last Name & First Name
Post by: music85 on August 02, 2013, 07:11:39 am

Hello,

I am currently working with a batch of MP4 Karaoke songs and I loaded them in MC. Problem, the Artist name shows as, example ->  Jackson, Michael  .  Under "Fill Properties From File Name", what modifier rule would I follow to change it to Michael Jackson , basically flip flop last & first name AND taking out the comma.

thanks for all your help

MrC


Is there a way to do it under"Artist" without relying on Expression.  I would like it to rename the file too.

Thanks,

You can use an expression to take the current value in Artist, and have it move the first name from the end and place it at the beginning.  Select one of your albums to test, and edit the Artist value in the Tag Action Window and add the value:

=if(regex([Artist], /#(.+),[ ]*(.+)#/), [R2] [R1], [Artist])

Sorry, I lost you here.  I am unable to edit the Tag Window.

Go to the Tag Action Window.  Click to the right of the Artist field label.  This is where you edit.  Paste the expression above.
