Hello, I'd like to rename folders (with a DIRECTORY action) so that no special chars are being used. I'd like to allow a-Z, 0-9 and - The nicest would be that Bartók Béla (artist tag) is renamed to Bartok Bela in the foldername. Is this possible? Thanks, Ralph

Prorok Rak: Hi, is this still possible in v2.50? I can't see the option Format tag field in 'Select action type' dialog box. Hmm ... yes ... 'Format tag field' should correctly be named and spelled as 'Format value' when using the english version of Mp3tag. DD.20120321.2032.CET

[image] DetlevD: UniToAsc.Diacritics Sorry - I'm 67 and must be missing something. I am trying to remove accents ( Reggaetón Lento ) from file names using MP3 tag. I've tried to do this using the above example and just can't get it to work. Normally I used the Tag to filename button and th…

see this post by @DetlevD [image] Unicode to ASCII General Discussion I have created six actionsgroups for the purpose of transcoding UTF-8 Unicode characters into 7-bit ASCII characters (see attached MTA files). Each group of actions encloses a special set of Unicode cha…

Couldn't get them to work. Easier to write a small program and rename the files without accents as filenames. Sure seems like there should be an easy way for MP3Tag to make filenames without Accents. Some Windows programs wont work with the files. Thanks anyway

[image] BobVal: Couldn't get them to work. As you do not tell us what you tried, it is hard to to think of a way out of it. The easy way is there in the shape of the mentioned actions. The Windows file system uses UTF8 characters so any program that runs under windows should be able to read…

Windows 10. Have an old program that is not Unicode and the mGB->RenderFile(T2W(pszFileName), NULL) does not seem to like Accents or "¿" But not to worry - replacing this program Thanks for your time

Change Bartók Béla to Bartok Bela (loose the special chars)
