Check again what ohrenkino suggested above: you can use the converter "Text file - Tag" ![:mt_tff:](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/1X/fb599927d56a3dea5261627b2c420f3f21fabb2d.png ":mt\_tff:") and edit the list in a text editor so it basically shows one entry per line:

```
1. Fool In Love
2. 'Cause I Love You
3. Gee Whiz...

```

Use

%track%. %title%

as format string and then use the converter "Tag - Filename" ![:mt_ttf:](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/1X/922db76db5d45b2e558d10f3d8c25fb8bc04fd27.png ":mt\_ttf:") to rename the files with, e.g.,

$num(%track%,2). %title%

as format string.

Kind regards
