Hi,  
I am now in the process of transferring all my vinyl to pc, long job..........  
I will be converting filename - tag using:

```
                         %artist% - %album% - %track% - %title%

```

The track will be 1 of 1, 1 of 2 etc.  
As I use Itunes, the "of " will need to be replaced with a "/ " ( which can't be used in a filename), in the tag track field.  
Is there a way this can be done other than manually.  
I've only been using Mp3tag for a couple of days so excuse me if I've missed something obvious.  
Oh, by the way Mp3tag is brilliant.  
Thanks.

To convert a string from '1 of 2' to '1/2' you may create an **Action** using the tag-field-formatting mode.  
_Field_: **TRACK**  
_Formatstring_: **$replace(%TRACK%,' of ','/')**
