**Please help me in in File Name Trimming**

**Current Filename** : _08 - Filename - AlbumName [[Vellithiramusic.net](http://Vellithiramusic.net)].mp3_

**Target Filename** : _Filename.mp3_

* * *

**Is there anyway to implement these actions in Mp3Tag**

just imagine a folder's name is : _CoolBoy [2010-VBR-MP3-320Kbps] [[Vellithiramusic.net](http://Vellithiramusic.net)]_  
just imagine a the Files in the folder is : _08 - Filename - CoolBoy [[Vellithiramusic.net](http://Vellithiramusic.net)].mp3_

1st step » Remove (Trims) the folder's last 45 characters, Thus folder's name goes just 'CoolBoy'  
2nd step » Mp3tag scans folder's name (its 'CoolBoy' in this particular case) & removes it from Filenames . Thus making filename to _08 - Filename - CoolBoy [[Vellithiramusic.net](http://Vellithiramusic.net)].mp3_
