Reformat Artist Field

[swalker2001]

I have 15,000 songs in .wav format with a special header field that contains artist and title. I have devised a way to divine those fields out of the wav and place them into ID3 tags when I convert the files to mp3. But the artist field is set up this way:

lname, fname

I want it to be:

fname lname

Is there a way within Jaikoz to swap this and save it back to the tag? Keeping in mind that not all artist fields are populated with a person’s name. I assume I could write a Python routine to look for a field with a single comma, then assume it is a lname, fname and swap the two words removing the comma. That should get the vast majority of them.

If I can do this, I will have a library that is 100% correct because I know all the original wav files have correct information.

Jaikoz does not currently support regular expressions in filename masks so I cant think of any easy way within Jaikoz.

But you could :
Load the files into Jaikoz
Use Advanced/Export to output the file to spreadsheet
Use spreadsheet tools to fix column
Use Advanced/Import to overwrite data in Jaikoz with modified spreadsheet
Check it worked okay
Use Save to save changes.
