As mask the following should work:

Code: Select all

$If($Right(<Artist>,3)=The,The $Replace(<Artist>,$, The,))

I'd presume that the RegExp Find & Fix addon is better suited for this: http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewto ... lit=regexp (but it works on tags).

Go to the mm options panel in the general area i think? Is the option for mm to use "user friendly masks" that will show the full words in the mask text line of the auto organizer panel.
Now go to the options panel of mm and to the appearance area? That has the option to use the or ignore the when it is used in artist names.

Now to replace the in to the names of artists where it was removed you just need to find all the songs by that artist, then in the list view area you select all the songs you need to change,
Then right click on one of the selected songs, then click on properties, the panel will show for multiple songs then and it has check boxes beside all the text areas, just check the box for the information you WANT ON ALL songs to be the same, then change that info to what you want, click the okay button and wait till its finished then do the next songs if needed.


BUT BE CAREFUL THAT CHECK BOX WILL CHANGE ALL SELECTED SONGS TO THE SAME INFORMATION CHANGE FOR ITS TEXT LINE.

Auto-Organise files mask problem

How to change Artist name back from 'Beatles, The' to 'The Beatles' using Auto-organise Files.
I have this mask but it seems the subtraction doesn't work. I know - is a control character but I have tried using $ in various places with no avail.

Code: Select all

$If($Right(<Artist>,3)=The,The $Left(<Artist>,$Len(<Artist>)$- 3),<Artist>)
Any help?
