I'm not sure if a query like this has been posted earlier. If it has been, my apologies. I just downloaded MP3tag yesterday, but I can't seem to find my way around it. This is my requirement.  
I have 10,000+ files with the title tag...

0001 Genesis.01  
0002 Genesis.02  
0003 Genesis.03  
.  
.  
.  
10001 Matthew.01  
10002 Matthew.02  
10003 Matthew.03  
.  
.  
.

10239 Revelations.01  
10240 Revelations.02  
10241 Revelations.03

I want to rename the title tag as follows:  
Genesis 1  
Genesis 2  
Genesis 3  
.  
.  
.  
Matthew 1  
Matthew 2  
Matthew 3  
.  
.  
.  
Revelations 1  
Revelations 2  
Revelations 3

I guess I may have to rename it in sets. When renamed I want to eliminate the 4 digit number in the beginning and I would like to remove the dot '.' after the name of the book. Looking forward for some enlightenment. If you think there is another post or thread where I could learn about this please do guide me there.

Thank you...
