Hi
I am using a creative Zen Vision M for my audio-books. The Zen sorts via the 'title' field. As audio-books, especially unabridged ones, are lengthy it greatly assists navigation if the title and track number is included in the title tag.
For example _'The Invisible Man Pt 01 - 001'_
I have set the 'Title' field in MP3 tag so that it displays in MP3 Tag in the title field as:
_'The Invisible Man Pt 01 - 01/87'_
By using '_%title% %track%'_ in the 'value' field for title
The problem I have is that when I transfer the audio-book to the Zen the title only shows
_'The Invisible Man Pt 01'_
I previously used foobar and managed to get title and track number in the title field on the Zen, but I find MP3 Tag, apart from this issue, easier to use.
I would be grateful for any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong.
Thanks

I assume you changed a column in the file view, but this does not change your tags, it only changes what Mp3tag (one word) displays.
I suggest to revert this change.
To add the track number to the title tag create a [new action](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/967/1):
_Action type:_ **Format value**
_Field:_ **TITLE**
_Format string:_ **%title% %track%**

I thank hector896 for starting this topic, as I had the exact same problem. I'm totally unfamiliar with Action, I thought the way to do it would be tag-tag conversion. Since this feature doesn't exist, I've resorted to entering the numbers manually.
I still find Action scripts daunting. Maybe I need a dummy's guide. 🙂
