Title: Library Clean Up: [NAME] has Arist and Song Title. How to separate?
Post by: Ferdi on August 31, 2013, 02:55:31 pm

Hi,

I am cleaning up my library, and find a number of albums that are tagged wrongly: the [name] field contains both the artist's name and the song title, divided by a slash. Example: "Horace Silver / Psychedelic Sally".

Some of these albums aren't identified by MusicBrainz Picard (which usually helps with these cases).

Is there anyway with the MC scripting language to clean this up?

thanks!

Probably many methods to achieve this. My preferred method is to use the filename as a scratch pad.

1) Rename filename as [Name]
2) Fill properties from filename as [Artist] _ [Name]
3) Rename filename using whatever file naming standard you prefer

Brilliant - never thought of that avenue to fix tagging! Thanks!
