Multiple Artist Editor

Helium Music Manager is able to handle multiple artists for each track. To add more than one artist to a specific track you use the Edit Multiple Artists tool. This tool is used from several tools in Helium Music Manager, the Tag Editor, the Tag Editor (Advanced), the Quick Edit and the Subtracks Editor to just mention a few.

Using the Multiple Artist Editor

Each line in the multiple artist editor is separated into two columns; Command and Artist. Each artist involved in the track is listed with its name (the Artist column) and which function (the Command column) that artist has in the track. You can enter any command text you prefer, but a number are offered by default:

&
.
/
and
battles
feat.
joins
meets
mit
presents
with
vs.

Please note that you cannot enter a command for the first artist in the list. To add new artists to the list, click the Add button. To remove the selected artist (line), click the Remove button.

To enter a command, select the command cell and start to write the desired command. The same applies to enter a artist name. You can also start the editing by pressing F2 or Enter, just as in the Tag Editor.

Move the selected artist Up/Down by clicking the Move Up/Move Down buttons.

Extracting multiple artists

To avoid manual typing, you can use the Extract Artists command to let Helium Music Manager auto-extract artists from a certain text.

Example:

If the artist text in the first line is "DJ Tiesto feat. Barbarella vs. Nu-NRG", press the Extract Artists button to extract artists automatically. The resulting commands and artists will be:

Artist: DJ Tiesto
Command: feat, Artist: Barbarella
Command: vs., Artist: Nu-NRG

As you may understand, this command can save you lots of time and typing!
