Is there a similar add-on for Verion 4?

The only one I know of for MM4 is RegExp Find And Replace. It's more complex, though.

I uploaded many addons to MM's addon page, but not all of those were created by me. "By drakinite, Submitted by drakinite" means I made it on my own time. "By Ventis Media, Inc., Submitted by drakinite" means it may have been made by me or another MediaMonkey developer, so instead of crediting/thanking me, please thank the team. You can still ask me for support on any of our addons.

find and replace all fields

Post by DJSTRETCH »

Find _______________ in these fields and replace with __________________

Example: Find ".com" in artist name and replace it with "" = remove .com from artist field.

MMW 5.0.4.2663 Beta

After your parameter replace with "" puts two "" characters in the field.
Correct: Replace With: enter an empty entry

I wrote "Find and Replace" for the most important fields for MM4. Of course, more text boxes could be added to choose from.
Why don't the developers bring this together for MM5?

How do I get the find and replace?
I need to remove a lot of text (where I downloaded the music from) in the ID3 tags

Dowloadlink: https://www.mediamonkey.com/addons/brow ... -string-3/

Installation - open MM5 - Menu: TOOLS ... Addons ... Add... locate and select the download file.
Everything else is automatic.

Programm call: Select one or more songs - Context menu button ... Edit Tags ... Replace String

find and replace all fields

Post by fc622000 »

Hi,
I installed some time ago "Replace String 1.1.2" and it seemed to work fine.
Recently, however, the addon no longer works. It no longer replaces any string.
I tried to install it again but it doesn't work.
I use MediaMonkey 5.1.0.2821
Thank you

Find And Replace Fields

Post by fc622000 »

Hi, is there a possibility to find and massively replace some tag fields, such as artist, title, album, etc.?
Thank you very much

You can edit Properties on multiple files and all changes you make will be saved to all selected files.

Many thanks for the replay, but what I mean is a different feature: I would like for instance to find and replace in the field “Title” all the “:” with “;”.
Is it possible?

Yes this is possible within MMW5 using the Replace String add-on:

https://www.mediamonkey.com/addons/brow ... -string-3/

But, it works for Title / Artist / Album and Album Artist.

For more advanced Find and Replace in fields, you would need to use MMW4 and RegExp:

https://zvezdan-d.github.io/RegExpReplaceNew.html

Or another Tag editor.

!!! Don;t forget that some edits are in the library UNTIL YOU SYNC back to the files using Ctrl+S!!!

I already tried to use the Replace String add-on but, it seems not works anymore since I have installee the MediaMonkey version 5.1.0.2827. I know this is not a stabel version but it's works with iOs 17.

It simply doesn’t change the character I want to change. Maybe I’m doing something wrong but, like the instance I posted before, if I want to replace in some tags the character “:” with “;”, when I click ok, the Find And Replace windows get closed but nothing happen and characters “:” remain unchanged.
