Fix Artist File Names

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

When Artist File Names are created there will be some incorrect file names created.  The most common will be a band name that has been recognized as an artist name - for example BAD COMPANY will generate an Artist File Name of COMPANY, BAD.  The next most common will be the artist title strip name with more than two names - for example BEN E. KING will generate an Artist File Name of E. KING, BEN.

 

The quickest way to fix the band name incorrect names is to open the Artists screen and click on the Title Strip Name column header to sort on that column.  Then scroll down the File Name column and when you see an incorrect band name RIGHT-CLICK on the artist and select "Change File Name to Title Strip Name" from the pop up menu.  It is possible to fix many of these incorrect file names in a very short time doing this.  This action will update all the records by this artist.

 

To fix the three named file names will require that you click on the Modify menu option and manually change the file name.  Be sure to select the Change the Artist Names and Update All Records option.
