Thanks, it works perfectly on my radio!
I'll close this issue now

That sounds doable and it's probably a good idea to use that as a fallback if the artist is missing. Thanks for the suggestion!

I've decided not to build in this behavior. However, the most recent release (v0.3.0) supports the filter-script config option. You can point it at a script that will be run to filter metadata. The filter script takes the artist, title and album as input and should output the filtered metadata on separate lines.

An example script to extract the artist from the title if the artist is missing:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys

artist, title, album = (l.rstrip() for l in sys.stdin.readlines())

if len(artist) == 0:
    artist, title = title.split(' - ', maxsplit=1)

print(artist, title, album, sep='\n')

Let me know if this solution works for you!
