Extract Mix From Title

Titles often say which version of a track a file holds, like Radio Edit, Extended Mix, Clean or 12" Version. This smart fix finds these versions at the end of your titles and puts them in the Mix field.

A title like Get Lucky (Radio Edit) (Clean) will have Radio, Clean set in the Mix field.

One value for every spelling

Every way of writing the same version ends up as one value, so your Mix field stays uniform:

Get Lucky (Extended Mix) ➡ Extended Get Lucky (Extended Version) ➡ Extended Get Lucky (Extended Remix) ➡ Extended

When a title has more than one version, they are always put in the same order, so (Clean) (Radio Edit) and (Radio Edit) (Clean) both become Radio, Clean.

If the Mix field already has a value, the versions in it are written the same way and combined with what is found in the title. Text in the Mix field that is not a version, like a remixer name or a note, is kept exactly as it was.

What is left alone

Only versions of the same recording are extracted. Named remixes, bootlegs, mashups, live and acoustic versions are a different recording, so a title like Get Lucky (Daft Punk Remix) is not changed. Use Extract Remixer for remixes.

Other text in brackets at the end of a title stays where it is. For example, Get Lucky [Dirty] [Disco] gets Dirty in the Mix field and keeps [Disco] in the title. A key or BPM after the brackets, like the 118 in Get Lucky (Clean) 118, is also kept.

Options

Remove mix from title

Off by default: the version is copied to the Mix field and the title stays as it is. Enable it to also remove the version from the title, so Get Lucky (Radio Edit) (Clean) becomes Get Lucky.

Also add as Custom Tags

Each version also becomes a custom tag, see Custom Tags. If you already have a tag with that name, it is reused. Otherwise the tag is created in the Mix category.
