Hello everybody,

I want to remove (Live) in this expression "01 - The Thrill Is Gone (Live)"  
This action does'nt work properly, why?  
Regular Express: "FILENAME": "$num(%track%,2) - $regexp(%title%, (Live),)" -\> ""

Windows 7 with Mp3tag v3.11

Thanks for your help!

If you want to fiddle with the filename only, then try Converter\>Filename-Filename

If you insist on an action, try a simple replace  
Search: (Live)  
Replace with:
