i was wondering if i could use the same string to occupy multiple fields...

track name:
Code Sample
01 - Singer - Track.mp3

use:
Code Sample
<Tracknr> - <Artist/V2_TOPE> - <Title>.mp3


so what i'm asking is if there is a way to fill 2 (or multiple) fields from the same string?

i could see this as a valuable feature (not sure about other users)?

I'm not completely sure what you're asking, but all tools using output templates can use the same field at an arbitrary number of positions, yes.

well i just wanted to use the filename and put it in 2 fields...

like i want to put the artistname into <Artist> and <V2_TOPE> (ie. original artist)...


so if the mp3 filename is: 01 - John K - Cold Weather.mp3
i want to get the parse the "John K" string and put it in <Artist> AND I want to put it in <V2_TOPE>.  I'm not sure how to do this?

Ah, I see. You can either use two consecutive rounds of the auto tag tool, where you use one of the <Artist> and <V2_TOPE> fields each time, or just one round with one of them, followed by a round with the Direct Tag Manipulation tool, where you copy this first one to the other.

Then simply create a macro of the whole process, and it will always be accessible at the click of a single button.
