Hi again,

I doubt this is possible, but I will be pleasantly surprised if it is...

For my radio station, I had re-tagged all my mp3s so that the title tag included not only the song name, but also the album and year.  For example:

<Title> -> "Songname, from the 1972 album Albumname".

Now, I need to undo the damage.  I could dump the tags to a text file use a Perl script or Emacs to truncate the tag back to the song title.  But it would be nice if there is a way for Tag Studio to do this for me.  Is there a way?

Thanks!!

As you say, you can do it by first exporting a list, but you don't need any external scripts to manipulate it, simply directly import the list with a suitable parsing template in Mp3/Tag Studio, and it will be fixed! You can also create a macro for it, to be able to do it with the click of a single button.
