My car plays everything in alphabetical order (uses song titles) and not according to the folder contents. It uses the TITLE as the “read” field. Even “01 filename” makes no difference in the FILENAME field In mp3tag, how can I copy the FILENAME to the TITLE field in bulk? Thanks

Could you please tell us exactly what you do? Also, it would be nice to see which function you used, if you got any error messages what you expected, what the underlying data is. We cannot look over your shoulder. Because @LyricsLover 's suggestion works fine over here: [grafik]

You have 2 ways: a) Use Convert Filename -> Tag with the format string %title% (Only use this way after you have successfully changed your filename. This will "copy" your complete filename into the TITLE tag.) or b) Use Convert Tag -> Tag with the formatstring $num(%_counter%,2)_%title% if you…

[image] Mikeh: $num(%counter%,2)%_Title% Besides what Ohrenkino wrote: [image] ohrenkino: Please use Convert>Tag-Tag for TITLE instead of Convert>Tag-Filename the format string has to be $num(%counter%,2)_%title%

$num(%counter%,2)_%title% in TAG/TAG All the TITLES are 00 instead of 01 02 03 etc Thanks to all for the help - APPRECIATED
