Hello, I have lot´s of albums and some of them have the leading zero in track count (like 01,02) and some not. Now I have using the "Autonumbering" wizard but I would need something else so I could make sure that all tracks are counted with two numbers. How can I do this? ---

When you select files and click on "autonumbering" wizard, you'll see a tick box next to "use two digit track numbers". If you want two digit track numbers, tick this box. ---

Hello, I know this option but it is not helping me in this case. I will attach a picture that helps to understand my question. I have many files from different folders open and I do not want to renumber them: just add the missing zero IF it is not present. ![](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/2X/7/74bb0e814e593170432b1c04d443798fdb2ae668.png) ---

I will attach a picture that helps to understand my question. I have many files from different folders open and I do not want to renumber them: just add the missing zero IF it is not present. 1. Click on the toolbar icon 'Actions (Quick)' 2. Select 'Format value' from the drop-down menu. 3. In the 'Field' text box enter: 4. In the 'Format string' text box enter: 5. Click 'OK'. Taken from the ever-useful [Help docs](https://docs.mp3tag.de/scripting) under 'Pad decimal number with leading zeros'. I always check there first or on the forums via a 'site:mp3tag.de' Google search. ---
