I have looked through this bbs and the help file for MP3TS, and cannot find reference to a Search and Replace function.  Perhaps I'm just not smart enough to find it?

I have many files in which it would be helpful to replace a semi-colon in the Artist field with a space.  And if that is too easy for you, I want to do it using keyboard only.  :)

To begin with, the artist field will look like:

firstname lastname;firstname lastname

and I want it to look like:

firstname lastname firstname lastname

Sometimes there are middle names or initials just to make it more complicated.

Is there a Search and Replace function in MP3TS?

Sure, please see the "Case fix and replace" utility, and its "Substring replacements" sub option, which is available in most of Mp3/Tag Studio's tools.

It took a little fiddling, but I got it to work.  I don't even feel too bad about not finding that function myself, you have it buried pretty deep in the utilities.  I now have it incorporated into my keyboard macro and can re-tag an audio book with 20 (or more) files with a single keystroke, changing every single field and adding V2 tags.

Thanks, Magnus!

Hi taan, can you show us the step by step process for you to get this to work?
