Maybe obvious to someone else so I thought I would ask. Is there a way to convert track numbers so they are in the 01, 02, 03 format?

Example: I have tracks that are in the 1, 2, 3, and 1/12, 2/12 format and would like them listed as 01, 02, 03, etc.

Is there a way to do this easily?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Make a [new action](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/967/1)

_Action type:_ **Format value**  
_Field:_ **TRACK**  
_Formatstring:_ **[$num(%track%,2)]**
