I have many songs which have () or [] in Filenames and Titles. (There is no text in the brackets).  
Is there a way to remove these brackets.

Thank you.

Create an action of the type "Replace" for e.g. TITLE  
Search string: (  
Replace String:  
(leave empty)

Create corresponding actions for other brackets and other fields.

Have a look wether there are white spaces left.  
In case of white spaces in front or behind the brackets you have to modify your action.
