Hi - I am a dummy and struggling here. I am needing to use the Filename column to populate the Title column and cannot for the life of me figure out the string. I think I am supposed to use the **Convert \> Filename -tag** but I could be wrong. Here is what I desire : Filename column : 01 Genesis 1.mp3 Title column : Genesis 1 -thx ---

You can use "Converter \> Filename - Tag" with `%dummy% %title%` as a format string here. `%dummy%` is used as an artificial placeholder that ignores the associated data, in this case the track number. ---
