Tagging: Move "feat. artist" from %artist% to %title%

Hi,
I use the musicbrainz tagger to tag my files and want to move all "feat. artist" from the %artist% tag to the %title% tag since it causes a lot of problems with my phone where I start getting multiple artist entries. Does anyone have suggestion on how to do this?
TY

there might be a more elegant solution by using masstagger, but that's the way i do such things:

properties > tools > automatically fill values...
source = %artist%
pattern = %artist% feat. %feat%

and then
source = %title% feat. %feat%
pattern = %tittle%

Split field by separator from %artist% using the separator “feat.” to a new field such as %feat%.

Format value from other fields: format %title% as
Code: [Select]
%title%[ '['feat. %feat%']']



The problem I am having is removing the artist name from the temp FEAT tag

So originally

ARTIST=Armin van Buuren feat. Aruna

after split fields by separator

FEAT=Armin van Buuren; Aruna

How would I remove "Armin van Buuren" from FEAT?

Thanks

Masstager:

- Add
- Format value from other fields...
- Destination field name: FEAT
- Formatting pattern: $meta(feat,1)
This is HA. Not the Jerry Springer Show.

Oh, good point, so thanks for the necessary improvement. I didn’t consider the fact that the sub-string prior to the separator would also be included.

This reminds me of how confused I get when programming strings in C…but, to be fair to myself, that might be mostly attributable to string.h.
