+---Topic: Capitalization bug and a question about "the" started by DasKraut
Posted by: DasKraut on Jan. 11 2005,05:58
I'm using v3.5 beta release 7. Words that are normally not capitalized work properly EXCEPT when they come at the end of a title (when they should be capitalized). They are properly capitalized at the beginning of a title. I don't know if there is a way around this but I haven't been able to find it.
The reported bug should not be construed as a complaint of any kind. Everytime I use the program, I discover additional features that make editing tags so much easier. This is truly a wonderful program!
And now for my question:
Does anyone know how to eliminate the word "the" in the beginning of an artist's name short of changing it for each separate artist. For instance, if I have music by "the Supremes", "the Five Keys" and "the Elegants", do I have to do three separate "mass set tags" or is there an easier way to do it? Note that if there were really only three, I wouldn't be asking this question but I have music for hundreds of groups whose name starts with the word "the".

If you export the artists' names to a file (File tools) then
import them back (Tag/rename from list) with the template:
The <Artist>
you will effectively remove all "The"s from the artists' names.

Thank you. I'll give that a try. It never ceases to amaze me just how flexible this program is.

And don't forget to make a macro of it, to be able to access it with a single mouse click.
