**%track%** should return the track number but is returning the "_Position in set_" too.

Set the "Tag - Filename" as:

```
%track%. %title%

```

If I have a 28th track of 30 total, It returns:

```
2830. etcetc.mp3

```

Instead of:  
28. etcetc.mp3

Instead of

> %track%. %title%

use  
$num(%track%,2). %title%
