Hi

Just downloaded for the first time and trying to get to grips with what looks like great software.

When I looked at the screenshots before downloading, I saw a check box in Tools that looked like it put leading zeros in the tag track number. That option does not appear in the current version. Is there a way to make all the track numbers from 1 to 9 to have leading zeros.

I did do a search first but have not found anything.

Many thanks.

Wow! I just found the answer myself by using the Auto Numbering feature.

Great!

Or you can use $num(%track%,2) as format string.
