hi everybody, this is my first post here. i know mp3tag from several years but never used because i'm fan of Tag&Rename but now this app it's old and no longer updated. also i started using mp3tag because i need to copy and paste from 2 different folder in batch all tags from files ogg to files m4a…

As the tag field format is a purely numeric one in MP4 files, it does not allow leading zeros - as opposed to mp3 files which have a "numeric string" as field format that allows leading zeros and the slash as separator. This behaviour is also described in the already linked documentation: […

thanks for reply. "why" is why mp3tag not have structure like file explorer, like tag&rename. it's great feature and i dont know why (again) an amazing app mp3tag cant have this feature about track numbering yes ctrl+k work fine, but checked Leading zero for tracknumber i can't get 01,02,03... but…

[image] nebexe5539: but always 1,2,3.... Which file format do they have? MP4 files cannot have leading zeros in the track number. I am not too fond of the "why" question as it asks for justifications from people who do not have to justify their decisions. In this case, there is an answer to…

oh yes wonderful. $num(%track%,2) work fine. thanks

Regarding the file explorer view, let me give you my experience of moving from Tag&Rename to MP3Tag. I had used Tag&Rename for almost 2 decades. I changed because I needed more flexibility in my workflow. I did struggle with the lack of folder view as I depended on it for so long. Initially it was …

maybe. i've tried MP3Tag just because sometimes i need to copy all tags from files from one folder to same converted files from another folder, in batch, and MP3Tag allow this, Tag&Rename copy tag from all selected files but paste just only one however another little question: Tag&Rename allow trac…

[image] nebexe5539: tracks numbers in format xx/xx like 01/32. on MP3Tag have this feature ? This depends on the music file format. For mp3 this is possible, for example, with Convert -> "Auto-numbering wizard" (Ctrl + K): [image] This is not possible with m4a, as @ohrenkino has already ex…

i've ticked both, like your shot, but have just only xx format and yes, i talk about m4a. Tag&Rename allow xx/xx format also in m4a files

[image] nebexe5539: Tag&Rename allow xx/xx format also in m4a files You are here in the Mp3tag forum. Mp3tag respects the existing standards for music files. m4a does not allow anything else for TRACK then pure numbers like 1 or 11. m4a does not allow any other characters like / or leading…
