Hi everyone
I have spent the last hour trying to figure this out and ive caved and asking for help
I would like featured artists to be in the song title and not in the artist section. Ive tried multiple scripts, the feat artist plugin, the Additional Artists Variables plugin, browsed through this forum and i cant seem to resolve.
The issue appears to be the album in question has “with” instead of “feat or ft or featuring” so these solutions are not picking it up.
Can anyone recommend anything?
Thank you for reading
You can do this with a script.
- Check whether the string " with " is in the %artist% tag. If it is…
- Remove the string " with" and all following text from %artist% and add it to “title”.
- Remove the matching artists from the %artists% multi-value tag.
This is a non-trivial script - read the scripting documentation and give it a try and come back if you need more help.
(Alternatively edit the Feat. Artist Plugin, and add “with” to the list of words indicating a featured artist.)
Try this script snippet:
$set(_feat_regex,\\s+\\\(?\(\(?:feat\\.|featuring|with\)\\s+[^\)]+\)\\\)?)
$set(_feat,$rsearch(%artist%,%_feat_regex%))
$set(artist,$rreplace(%artist%,%_feat_regex%,))
$set(title,$if(%_feat%,%title% \(%_feat%\),%title%))
This is for track artists. For albumartists this could also be done using the albumartist and album tags.

It was the fixing the artists tag that I was thinking was non trivial.
