Artist Cleanup
You can find Artist Cleanup in the sidebar under Quick Fixes
Artist Cleanup is a tool very similar to Genre Cleanup, it allows you to very quickly consolidate your artists.
Usage
Select any artists that you want to consolidate into one artist. Type that artist (or SHIFT+click any artist) in the New Artist
field. When you save, all tracks with one the selected artists will get changed to the new artist.
You can use SHIFT+Click
on any artist to auto-fill that artist as new artist.
You can filter on a artist in the track browser by using ALT+Click
or OPTION+Click
on any artist. This works really well when you have the Sidepanel open.
Lock Artist
You can lock artists by right clicking them. This prevents selection so they won't accidentally change. Locked artists can be found quicker in the "New artist" autocomplete so you won't easily pick the wrong artist there. A recommendation is to start by locking all your proper artist names so cleaning them up will be quicker after that.
Pin Letter
You can pin a letter so you can scroll it vertically, this makes it easier to navigate. This is remembered between sessions so you can easily continue later.
Track Browser
You can right click any artist and this will take you to the track browser and only show tracks from that artist.
Settings
By default, only artists from the Artist
field are used. You can enable different fields here, like Remixer
, Producer
, Composer
and Lyricist
. Enabling one of these fields will also update those fields when renaming an artist.
You can sort the artists in the Artist Cleanup screen alphabetically or by amount of tracks each artist has.
