Use the numbering wizard Ctrl-K and do not reset the track number on any condition.

Exactly, the filename has to be created with a convert function from the tag data.
Any activated function below "Tracknumber" should be de-activated to get an ascending number

this is new software to me sadly. The FILENAME is in the headings when the files are opened - you say I need to CREATE FILENAME?
I am lost sadly - please guide me more and what expressions I need…..
Thank you

Do you want the filenames to just be `01.mp3`, `02.mp3`, `03.mp3`, ... or do you want to keep anything what's already part of the filenames now?
Please try to be a little more specific, and maybe even show screenshots. We have a pinned topic [Hints for asking Support Requests](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/hints-for-asking-support-requests/56190) in #Support which should give you an idea.

Hello…currently the name is 01 Love me slowly.
I would like the number/song title as indicated.
This would be from 01 to how many are all all the folders…
If 100, they would be from 01-100 from all the folders….
Folder ONE could be 01-17
Folder TWO could be 18-27
Folder THREE could be 28-40

For all selected files try Convert\>Tag-Filename
Format string: `$num(%_counter%,2)_%_filename%`
This leaves the filename as it is and preceeds it with an increasing number.
