"Feat. Artists in Titles" plugin doesn't seem to be working anymore

It does not work because this track list uses “ft.”, but the plugin expects “feat.”. I think there are two solutions for you:

  1. Activate the "Standardize featuring plugin. This will replace both “X ft. Y” and “X featuring Y” with “X feat. Y”. With this enabled the “Feat. Artists in Titles” plugins will work in this case again.

  2. Use a script. The functionality of the “Featuring Artists in Titles” plugin can be replicated with the following script:

$set(_feat_title,$rsearch(%artist%,\\s+\\\(?\(f\(ea\)?t\\.[^\)]*\)))
$set(artist,$rreplace(%artist%,\\s+\\\(?f\(ea\)?t\\.[^\)]*\\\)?,))
$set(title,$if(%_feat_title%,%title% \(%_feat_title%\),%title%))

$set(_feat_album,$rsearch(%albumartist%,\\s+\\\(?\(f\(ea\)?t\\.[^\)]*\)))
$set(albumartist,$rreplace(%albumartist%,\\s+\\\(?f\(ea\)?t\\.[^\)]*\\\)?,))
$set(album,$if(%_feat_album%,%album% \(%_feat_album%\),%album%))

This already takes care of handling both “feat.” and “ft.”.
