Title: Automate process of changing display artist field for last.fm scrobbling?
Post by: sgarciaesteban on August 20, 2021, 12:41:47 AM

My idea is to split the artists with a "Seach & Replace" searching for commas in the artist field and replacing it with semicolons to have the artists separated since now I have them with a comma (for example "Gunna, Playboi Carti"). But the problem is I don't know how to automate the process of changing the display artist field to make it only the first artist, that is, only "Gunna". In this way I have read in other posts that last.fm will read the display artist which will be "Gunna" and will not read "Gunna, Playboi Carti".
Is there a way to automate this process?

This is a pretty annoying issue for me. My phone and other applications don't have this issue.

You can use a regular expression to eliminate any characters beyond the comma. Do take note that any artists/groups with a comma in their name will also be affected.
