Hi
I have been using '%title% %track%' to insert the track numbers into my song title but they number 01, 02, 03 etc.
I just want numbers 1, 2, 3 4 etc.
How do I do this please.

Do you already have filled your TRACK number?
Or do you want to get it from your current filename into your TITLE?
A [screenshot](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/hints-for-asking-support-requests/56190#use-screenshots-to-exemplify-the-issue-2) from your current situation would help.
If the field TRACK already contains 01 (for example),
then one way would be using Convert Tag -\> Tag with
Field: TITLE
Format string: `%TITLE% $num(%TRACK%,1)`

Hi Just tried %TITLE% $num(%TRACK%,1) and it works although the number appears at the end of the title. I would prefer this,
1. Whole Lotta Love
2. Dazed and confused
Any advice?

What about swapping the values in the Format string to
`$num(%TRACK%,1). %TITLE%`
