hi
im new to the program and ive got a list of mp3s i want to rename. all the mp3s already have tags but i want to rename the TITLE tag to "Artist - Title" using the existing title and artist tag.
i heard its possible with the program but ive been messing around with the program and still no luck.
could someone tell me how to do it?
thanks

Hi
Make a new Action (ALT+5) of type "Format Tagfields" and type TITLE as field and %artist% - %title% as formatstring.
