Also not sure. You would have to show us the format string and the real life filename. ---

A filename like 01 This Wheel's on Fire.mp3 has the track number at the front but then follows text. So it is at least 2 parts. So you also have to have 2 parts in the format string. If you really only want the number, then use as Format string: %track% %dummy% But as I see that the TITLE field is also empty, you could fill that and TRACK in one go: Format string: %track% %title% ---
