Hi, how would one go about getting a leading zero on only the single digit tracks when doing a file name rename from tag? So I would get:

01 Depeche Mode Strangelove.wma

and not:

012 Depeche Mode Little 15.wma

Thanks -

Use $num(%track%,2) in your format string at ![:mt_ttf:](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/1X/922db76db5d45b2e558d10f3d8c25fb8bc04fd27.png ":mt\_ttf:") Convert \> Tag - Filename.
