CONVERT THE NAME OF MP3 WITH CAPITAL LETTERS.  
I get an error when wanting to change the names of my mp3s to capital letters. Help does not allow me. My operating system is Mac Os Hit Sierra

It's a limitation of the Wine-based macOS version: case conversion needs to use a temporary filename, so that the system doesn't think that it's overwriting an existing file.

A workaround for this is to add a temporary underscore via the converter "Tag - Tag" for field `_FILENAME` first with

`$caps(%_filename%)_` as format string and then again, to remove the temporary underscore, with

`$trimRight(%_filename%,'_')` as format string.
