### How to replace the string "xyz" in tag-fields or filenames?

Create a [new action](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/actions/967/2) in an existing action group and choose Replace as action type.

- **Field** specifies the parts of the tags/filename the replace rule should be applied to.
- **Original** is the string that is going to be changed in **Field**.
- **Replace with** is the string that replaces the string in **Original**. If you leave it empty, the string will be deleted.
