I need articles (a/an/the, etc.) to appear in different
places for the tags and the filenames. Here's an
example of what I need:

Filename: Chukimai - Alchemy, The.mp3

Tags:
- Artist: Chukimai
- Title: The Alchemy

For filenames on most operating systems, it's optimal
to place articles at the end of the filenames, as most
OSs at this time still don't take into account articles
when sorting alphabetically.

However, articles are usually displayed at the
beginning of titles (and most people seem to have
failed elementary English grammar), which is especially
important to take into account for systems like
Audioscrobbler and MusicBrainz that only read the tags.

Thanks. :)

    could you explain ur feature request some more? Do u want
    MTT to automatically put articles to the end of the filename?
    Hmm maybe possible by comparing the 1st word of the last
    part in a filename & comparing it to list of articles a,an,the if
    any of those put it at the end? John G.

    Yeah, if the filename has article(s) in it already, of
    course. :)

    What I also meant was to do this for all the tags, or
    specifically the artist, album, and song title tags. Another
    example:

    Filename: Autumns, The - Slumberdoll.mp3

    Tags:
    - Artist: The Autumns
    - Title: Slumberdoll

    I don't think I was clear about that before; sorry.
