I have a lot of filenames and tags that have square brackets and I want to change them to round brackets. Is there any way I can do them all at once?
ex. The file is "TI ft. Justin Timberlake - Dead and Gone [Club Mix]", and I want it to be "TI ft. Justin Timberlake - Dead and Gone (Club Mix)" but I want to change a couple hundred files at once.

Yes, you can do a batch action to do that.
Select all the files for which you want to change tags.
Click on "Convert" -\> "Action".
Create a new action group with the following actions:
Replace "TITLE": "[" -\> "("
Replace "TITLE": "]" -\> ")"
Replace "\_FILENAME": "[" -\> "("
Replace "\_FILENAME": "]" -\> ")"
The action file is included here.
