How to remove the artist name that is in front of the song name - defleppard - 2021-06-30

Where do I find the code to remove the artist name that is in front of the song name?

I've never changed it myself, but it's probably "4.2 Track naming template" here -> https://kodi.wiki/view/Settings/Media/Music#Show_song_and_album_artists

Thanx for your reply.
I don't know what happens in my case. I edited guisetting, but it doesn't work ... tested in estuary.

Change it in the actual music library settings. I've just tested and [%N.] %T works in Estuary.

Your guisettings is wrong.

(default="true") overwrites your change with "[%N. ]%A - %T".

That's how your change should be:

Code:
<setting id="musicfiles.trackformat">[%N.]%T</setting>

Yeah this is the easy way, no need to edit guisettings.xml.
