Hi Everybody. I'm wondering how I could get rid of these track numbers in the filepath? I can do it in the folder on my Mac but have to do it one by one and there are 77 tracks.

then you wrote a new filename with Convert>Tag-filename before you imported the data from the filename with Convert>Filename-Tag. So, please, import the data from the filename first. with [image] ohrenkino: Convert>Filename-Tag Format string: %track% - %title%

Thank you. when I put the title in the title tag it has the same number. How would I do this? Sorry I am just learning this.

Also guess I should say what I am trying to do is create my own sequence of tracks in order I want. So have to get rid of those numbers, put them in order/sequence I want, then I do the track and disc number command. If those numbers are there it puts all these numbers in the title field.

ok I will try all this and see what happens. as to your question, the only way I see to resequence is by dragging the filenames to my order. Is there a better way? thanks again

No that just left the filename as '' .flac" and nothing in title field. Because there is no title I guess.
