Insert sequential number at beginning of title field

I need to INSERT a sequential number at the beginning of each title field for tracks in a folder. The existing title needs to remain. I've manually sorted the files in MP3tag.

• The track numbers are correct, and I am aware of the string "$num(%track%,3)", but don't know how to INSERT the string at the beginning of each title tag.

You can try Convert Tag -> Tag
Field:
TITLE
and a Format string:
$num(%track%,3) %title%
or
$num(%track%,3) - %title%
if you want to separate the number from the existing title.

With Convert Tag -> Tag you can see the result in the preview immediately and you can adjust it to your needs.

Just for the sake of this forum: the search words "insert number" give e.g. this thread as result:

Insert Track Number Into Title

This should be simple but does not work. I would like to insert into the TITLE tag the track number. Currently there is a dummy string "#" in the title tag and I wish to replace it with the actual track number. I'm using the Replace with Regular Expression, where "Field" = "TITLE", "Regular expression" = "#", and "Replace matches with" = "$num(%track%,3)". This returns a value of '000'. I'm expecting the actual value of the track number padded with two zeros. How can I get this to work? Thanks.…
