I think I can get there eventually (with a series of actions), but I'm hoping someone has done this already. The Samsung Glyde is picky about filenames:

files names have to be 32 characters OR less  
no puncuation marks !@#$%^&\*()\<\>?":":{}} just letters or numbers or underlines

Some, I'm thinking to create the filename based on the tags, but I need to watch the characters.

Remove any funny characters "()$[]"  
Artist(first 9 chars)+Album(first 9 chars)+tracK(2 chars)+\_+Title(first 9 chars)  
Replace all - and "space" with \_

Thanks

I've made some progress with a multi-level action.

But, I'm having a hard time removing the invalid charactrs (only numberic, alaphabetic, & \_ ) is allowed.

This action should do the trick:

_Action type:_ **Replace with regular expression**  
_Field:_ **_TAG_**  
_Regular expression:_ **[^a-zA-Z0-9&]**  
_Replace matches with:_

[] case-sensitive comparison
