Hello to everybody, i have one simple request, i want to rename my tags from multi-cd albums, so that they begin with disc number and tracknumber combined. At the moment all my collection begins with "001 Track title". I want to rename it to "101 Track title" (for disc 1) and "202 Track title" (for disc 2 etc.) and only on the albums with more than 1 discs. I tried Convert- Tag/tag but i get "1/2 001 Track title" Can someone help please? ---

It is much easier in many cases to start from that what you have already thought about. You can try Convert\>tag-tag Format string: $num(%discnumber%,1)$mid('001 Track title',2,$len('001 Track title')) For '001 Track title' enter the correct field name, probably TITLE ---

Are you talking about changing the the filename or chenging the tags? To change the filenames you could use the converter Tag-Filename: $num(%discnumber%,1)$num(%track%,2) %artist% %title% ---

I would like to replace 001 Track Title with 101 Track title (where "1" is discnumber. Only in tags! I don't mind about filename. Currently i converted all my files as 00x Track title. at the TITLE tag. Is it possible? [https://photos.app.goo.gl/ShhpnHobSVQwxPup2](https://photos.app.goo.gl/ShhpnHobSVQwxPup2) ---

I did it but i cannot figure out what to replace in order to have the actual track title and not "track title" 😆 😆 [https://photos.app.goo.gl/1pmZkWtYsCbBBZii2](https://photos.app.goo.gl/1pmZkWtYsCbBBZii2) ---

> [@dj\_vts](#): > > You totally saved me sir!! Thank you so much!!! 😆 😆 😆 Glad it worked. Yet, I cannot go without a word of advice: If you join data from structured fields (like discnumber, track and title) to an unstructured string like the one you have in TITLE - even though I still don't understand the purpose - it is still advisable to separate the pieces of data with an unique separator like \_ So instead of '201 Track title' it would be better to have '2\_01\_Track title' This makes it much easier to separate once one decides that only the title data in the title field would be much nicer. ---

The only reason is that these files are on a hard disk connected on my Pioneer 7” headunit on my car that sorts tagged mp3s alphabetically and not by track number... So i needed to rename my whole collection with this structure. It is probably a bug, i sent an email to Pioneer but without response.. So thank you again!! ---
