Adding text such as "Record Label" to Artist.display.format - NuclearMike15 - 18-09-2026 14:58

Hello. I am using the following for tagFormat:

Artist.display.Format={$albumartist$label$orchestra$conductor}

This works just great and for example on a rock band I get for example:
Steely Dan, MCA

What I would like is to add text in front of Label so it would read:
Steely Dan, Record Label: MCA

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance
Mike

The displayFormat syntax is:

Code:

$tag-list^prefix^suffix^separator

This assumes you want the same prefix, suffix and separator applied to all tags ($tag-list), but the same syntax can be applied to each tag:

Code:

$tag^prefix^suffix^separator (repeated for each tag)

It may be easier to follow if you always supply the full syntax (this only works if the first tag is ALWAYS populated), so:

Code:

Artist.displayFormat={$albumartist$label$orchestra$conductor}

becomes

Code:

Artist.displayFormat={$albumartist^^^, $label^, ^^, $orchestra^, ^^, $conductor^, ^^, }

NOTE:
Don't specify a prefix on the first tag otherwise the resulting string will start with ", " e.g. ", David Bowie"

So all you need to do is change the prefix of your label tag:

Code:

Artist.displayFormat={$albumartist^^^, $label^, Record Label: ^^, $orchestra^, ^^, $conductor^, ^^, }

That worked perfectly. Thank you.
