Add more information to the orignal file names? For example, I would like to add more to the file name(adding more information infront the current file name) of several files without having to go through 900 files one by one lol. Such as: Old names: 01 - Track1 02 - Track2 etc. New names: Artist - Year - Album - 01 - Track1 Artist - Year - Album - 02 - Track2 etc. ---

Assuming the songs are already tagged... Convert \> Tag - Filename Format string: &artist% - %year% - %album% - %track% - %title% That should work. ---

Thanks it worked! How do I make the disc number show up as "Disc 1" instead of "1/1"? Also, I have some songs that needed to be tagged with track numbers at the same time. Let's say I had 5 songs from an album I wanted to tag. How could I add the track information all at once so the whole track numbers on the album will look like this? 1/5 2/5 ..... 5/5 ---
