+---Topic: Convert ‘Bowie, David’ to ‘David Bowie' in tags! started by smilingcrow
Posted by: smilingcrow on May 14 2005,15:18
I have some tracks that I want to convert from:
Surname, Christian Name to Christian Name Surname.
e.g.
‘Bowie, David’ to ‘David Bowie’
Can I do this to either the tags or filenames as a batch operation, I have a lot to do? I only need to do the one, as I can then apply it to other in MP3ST.
Thanks
Crow

The following templates in e.g. the "Direct rename files" tool should work:
Input:
<Custom1>, <Custom2>
Output:
<Custom2> <Custom1>
(if there are other parts of the filename too, modify the template to also fit these)

Thanks Magnus,
I'm trying to create the template that you suggested with no joy. How do I get the comma " , " into the template?

You must use the "Advanced mode" checkbox(es).

Thanks again,
I seem to have it all working now
I’m using a filter also, as not all the files are in this format.
This is so powerful Magnus, I just needed to be pointed in the right direction. Money very well spent.
Cheers

I'm glad it worked out fine and that you like the program.
