For songs with the “Explicit” tag, a feature for automatic naming can be added.

You can add more or less any string to the format string so that it would not be necessary to implement a special treatment for particular fields.

You could append your format string with  
`['['$left(%rating%,1)']']`

AFAIK there is no standard field called RATING. If you want to add the "excplicit" property to a file, then the field ITUNESADVISORY would be the correct place.  
So I doubt even more that a special function would be added for a user-defined field.

Alternatively, you can Filter for tracks with an "Explicit" `RATING` and then add an [E] to the end of those filenames.

Format string:  
`$num(%track%,2)- %artist% - %title% '[E]'`

this is what i do with explicit song titles

%artist% - (E) %title% %smyr%

or

`$num(%track%,2)-`%artist% - (E) %title% %smyr%

this way they are easy to spot and either use or forget during playback

note: smyr is a tab that i created using ($right(%year%,2))
