I would like to perform several actions with using just one action step.  
I would like to

- Copy Discog Catalog number to Comment Field I have action created that does this part separately from the wish list below.
- Add numeric Track Number for A/B sided LP's entries with auto numbering for tracks A Side = 01 for Track and Disk set to 1/1 for A Side. Side B same treatment except disk number 2/2.
- Correct to Standardized Capitalization
- Rewrite filename in format such as %Track Number% - %Title% (%Artist%).%Extension%

I have over 55,000 files to process.  
I am willing to perform this action on Directory by Directory basis.

You can add almost as may action to an action group as you like.  
Also, you can create a set of action groups if you tick their entries in the Actions ... dialogue. They will be executed top to bottom (so it may be necessary to move one or to to get the right order).

See this thread on the Grammartron case conversion:

> Howdy. I've stumbled across [this Action script](http://liquidparallax.com/2007/10/19/mp3tag-actions-empower-your-digital-collection/#titl) that formats all fields to title case. It works very well, except that I would like it to ignore words that are upper-case. For instance, words (or acronyms without periods) like UFO are converted to Ufo. I've left a message for the script's author but have not yet had a reply, so I thought I'd ask the geniuses over here. wink So, any ideas? Also, I'm wondering what similar scripts others here are using, so alternative suggestions are welcome. T…

Either use Convert\>Tag-Filename or an action of the type "Format value" for \_FILENAME  
Format string: $num(%track%,2) - %title% (%artist%)

I do not see much hope here to do that with an action as each action only looks at the current file and does no know anything about previous or coming files.  
There is the Track Numbering Assistant, though, but that relies on folders to detect that now a different album or CD starts. So unless you have arranged your files by indiviudal folder already, you have to either have to create such a structure or select the files group-wise.

This split may not be necessary for case conversion, copying data to comment and for new file names.
