Search String
Recently I did a massive overhaul of all my songs, removed duplicates, renamed everything to be consistent, then re created my database.
Everything went smoothly. I had the great idea the change ALL of the duet titles to \"whoever & whoever\" and then do a search for \"&\" and I could tag these as duets. Problem is, you cant search for an & symbol, you get no results. I tried with quatation marks as well.. nothing. Any ideas on how i can trick hoster into searching for \"&\" in the artist or filename so I can tag them as duets? |

Re: Search String
Try this:
Edit dialog with Multiples selected, search mode as Word not String, on the Match row select only Artist & Genre buttons, I don’t know why but just selecting Artist only finds a few On the Yes/No fields select Just Karaoke. If you also have Audio, Video & Kvideo you want to include Try them separate after wards I only tried this with Karaoke types. Now in the search field enter * & * make sure to enter a space between characters and press search. Now I don’t know if it finds all but my test produced a lot of results. I attach a screen shot showing my settings to make it clearer. One note though, not all songs with & in the artist field are true duets having the start of the track showing different colors for each singer.

Re: Search String
It may be referring to Bring Me To Life - Call Me When You\'re Sober wasn\'t even a duet.

Re: Search String
My post was to help find the & Character in his database, I am not saying my own database is 100% accurate. Having said that this YouTube link shows as listed.

Re: Search String
With or Featuring does not always imply a duet...

That is why I stated that not all songs listed as & are true duets to my way of thinking.

Re: Search String
As I stated not all songs where the & or ft appear are duets, looking into the track:
Looking at the video it is not a Duet, it appears that he just featured in the video. There are numerous examples like this one being Valerie - Amy Winehouse. Some versions listed as Mark Ronson Ft Amy Winehouse in which case Mark Ronson is just the band. Another example James Hype - ft Kelli-Leigh. So just finding all the songs with & in the artist field is not going to find the true Duets.

Re: Search String
That’s right.
There’s the other scenario with groups: Gerry & The Pacemakers, KC & the Sunshine Band, Buddy Holly & The Crickets, Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes, etc. etc..

Re: Search String
Right and technically neither does an & sign, but it would allow you to search for \'ftg\' to change the status to duet instead of the & sign - which the OP stated doesn\'\'t search.

Re: Search String
But in this case it was Mark Ronson\'s album/recording in which he hired Amy to do vocals, so Valerie - Mark Ronson ftg Amy Winehouse would technically be the correct entry.
