Am I able to switch my numbering format to lead with zeros? I could go through each album and change with the numbering wizard but I don't want to waste more time cleaning up my library.

1 to 01  
2 to 02  
3 to 03  
4 to 04  
5 to 05  
6 to 06  
7 to 07  
8 to 08  
9 to 09  
10 to 10

Select the files.  
Create an action of the type  
Format value for TRACK  
Enter as format string: $num(%track%,2)  
Execute the action.
