Make friends with $caps() and $replace(). :)

$caps(%title%)					  - capitilises words in the TITLE tag
$replace(%title%,'(','[',')',']')   - replace all ()'s for []'s in TITLE tag

Obviously you'll want to change %title% to whatever tag you want to fix up.

OK, :wacko: could someone make these scripts for title,album and artist.

PLS i tried but cant do it :cry:

Should just be to replace %title% with %album%,%artist% seperatly. If you meant all three at the same time I think you cant do it. Think you need three separate ones. But then again, I am no code-wiz regarding this.

You could actually combine all of them into one big string.

$caps($replace(%artist% - %album% - %title%,'(','[',')',']'))

pink floyd - the wall - another brick in the wall (part 2)

becomes:

Pink Floyd - The Wall - Another Brick In The Wall [Part 2]

I hoped an answer from you.

But i dont know how to make this script :rolleyes:

Could you explain it (notepad save as mds file?) :wacko:

what font are you using in your playlist there? I have looked after a font that looks like that..

Well it's not my screenshot so I can't be sure, but that looks a lot like Calibri... size 8 & bold. It's one of the new Microsoft fonts that come with the Vista betas I think.

Need help how to use this string :rolleyes:

tOta: Here's the way I got that particular script to work:

Playlist right-click>Tagging>Edit Tags

Under Actions to perform click "Add"... choose "Guess values from other fields"

Enter Source format:

$caps($replace(%artist% - %album% - %title%,'(','[',')',']'))

Guessing pattern:

%artist% - %album% - %title%

Don't know if there's an easier/faster way but this does work.

nop doesnt work just adds new value example,

%artist% - %album% - %title% = $caps($replace(%artist% - %album% - %title%,'(','[',')',']'))

Only thing that works is when you change only the title by code that shannon posted :)

But you can add 3 actions (artist,title,album) and it will do the work ;)

Thank's, but too late, I've already figured out it was Calibri size 8 & bold :p

My fooby (much of the code is based on Brumal's config) It's 0.9 RC, so no Album Art etc.. :(

Are you sure you used "Guess values from other fields..." and not "Format value from other fields..." ?

I swear it worked for me... :) I'm at school at the moment so can't try again, but I'll double check it as soon as I get home.

    • Here is how to watch Apple's WWDC 2026 conference where iOS 27 is expected by Taras Buria It is Monday, June 8, 2026, which means today is the day Apple kicks off its annual Worldwide Developer Conference, WWDC 2026. As usual, today's keynote will be full of consumer and developer-focused announcements, including new versions of Apple's operating systems, developer tools, and more. Apple streams its developer conferences, allowing everyone to tune in and watch the announcements live. Today is no exception, so here is how you can watch it. Apple WWDC 2026 will be available to watch on Apple's official website here. Also, you can stream it on YouTube and the Apple TV app on your Apple device. The stream kicks off at 10 AM PDT / 1 PM EDT / 6 PM GMT+1. Apple's annual developer conference usually focuses on new software experiences, so do not expect major hardware announcements. What is expected is the "27" series of Apple's operating systems, including iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, visionOS, and macOS. Apple is unlikely to introduce major UI changes, but you can expect subtle tweaks to the Liquid Glass design language, particularly on Mac. One of the biggest changes Apple plans to announce today is a reworked, AI-powered Siri. The assistant will be available as a standalone app with a chatbot-like experience and Google's AI models under the hood. If you want to learn more about what is expected today at WWDC 2026, check out our dedicated article here. However, if you prefer a spoiler-free stream, tune in at 10 AM PDT / 1 PM EDT on Apple's official website, its YouTube channel, or the Apple TV app.
    • For we consumer readers, it would be helpful if you clearly stated in the headline if the article is about consumer or enterprise. Then readers will know if the article applies to them or not. 2 cents.
    • At the moment I have my main PC and a test PC on my work desk. The test PC is also not inverted so I am not looking at the glass panel side, which is irritating.
    • I'm glad you posted this clarification of the cause of so-called Windows 11 update problems that too often appear in the article headlines.. In the future, it would be better to readers if you took your time, did the analysis before posting an article about Windows problems, which end up being a waste of time. Just saying.
    • Nah. They'll milk the current generation in terms of design - controllers, consoles, but no meaningful hardware improvements. This is one reason why people aren't buying Xbox hardware - it's stagnant.
