1. I select a group of MP3 files that I want to put a title on

In the title field on the left, I want to enter symbolics like:  
Rage-%track%  
so I would get  
Rage-1  
Rage-2  
...  
Rage-n

but when I hit the save icon, I get  
Rage-%track%  
Rage-%track%  
Rage-%track%  
etc. in the Title field

What am I doing wrong/misunderstanding/misusing

1. Am I correct in assuming that I must click on Save or else the changes I make in the right hand window will be lost?

1. You can use ![:mt_act:](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/1X/318aa654f7a0c7c178d869991f6e8680b214cfc0.png ":mt\_act:") Converter \> Actions with Format value as action type to achieve this. Placeholders are not available at the Tag Panel.

2. If you're referring to the file list, you only have to switch to another file or press [Enter] to apply the changes.

Kind regards,  
Florian
