When I said copy/paste the Comment field, I meant that you open the problematic tracks (that cause the "|") in the Properties dialog in MediaMonkey, copy the Comment field as text and paste it here in the post.

Did you notice an empty line on the beginning of the Comment field in tracks that result having the "|" after applying the preset? Could you try the next preset on such tracks:

Code: Select all

[\s\n]*(0x)?(([0-9A-F]{8} ){3}[0-9A-F]{16}( [0-9A-F]{8}){8}|([0-9A-F]{8} ){9}[0-9A-F]{8})[\s\n]*

[\s\n]*(0x)?(([0-9A-F]{8} ){3}[0-9A-F]{16}( [0-9A-F]{8}){8}|([0-9A-F]{8} ){9}[0-9A-F]{8})[\s\n]*

I suppose that you got that "|" thing with tracks having an empty line before ITUNNORM and/or ITUNSMPB tag in the Comment, but I cannot be sure until I see the original content of your Comment field. Please post any source sample of the Comment that results with the "|", so that I could improve the preset.

Could you post the Comment field of such tracks with the iTunes info before applying this preset, so that I can observe the pattern between them?

ZvezdanD wrote: ↑Fri Nov 20, 2020 4:28 pm It would be nice if you copy/paste Comment field of several tracks with the iTunes info so that I can observe the pattern. I don't have tracks with such info in them to conclude that. Do all your tracks have "0x" on the beginning of the Comment? iTunes uses COMMENT:ITUNNORM for gain control and COMMENT:ITUNSMPB for seamless playback and it seems that your track contains ITUNSMPB tag, but none example that I found on Internet has "0x" on its beginning. Anyway, you could try the next Find what string, it should remove both tags:

Code: Select all

(0x)?(([0-9A-F]{8} ){3}[0-9A-F]{16}( [0-9A-F]{8}){8}|([0-9A-F]{8} ){9}[0-9A-F]{8})\s*

Please post the screenshot of the Preset Settings dialog box with the mentioned preset selected and visible any track having the iTunes info in the Comment field. You could also copy/paste the Comment field of any track containing that info here.
