> Hi everyone, I am VERY new to all of this and could really do with some help! I have filenames like this: (10cc - Donna.mp3) All I want to do is remove the 10cc bit in the filename, so that it finishes up like: Donna.mp3. I am really stuck, and going around in circles...please help if you have time! Quite a number of tracks so it would help such a lot to do them on mass! Regards, Raystr.

how did the artist get into the title (again).

Try an action of the type "Guess value"  
Source: %title%  
Target format string: %artist% - %title%  
or  
Target format string: %dummy% - %title%
