Hi.
How can I remove the word 'The' from the artist field if the artist begins with The, eg ... The Smiths = Smiths The Strokes = Strokes But keep where 'The' appears in the artist name, eg Adam & The Ants = Adam & The Ants |

For example ... 1. Madonna - Lucky Star bcomes 1. Madonna - Lucky Star (an extra space after Madonna) |

Looks like when I copied your string in, somehow an extra space got tagged on the end. Unfortunately, I've just applied this action to a load of tracks. Is there a way I can remove the trailing spaces from the end of Artist? Otherwise I have to go through them all manually to remove the additional spaces.
