I already tried a few in the FAQ thread, I didnt get one that worked completly.
I'm looking for a action set that removes \_- - [] (and whitespace) characters as well as numbers from the title and filename. But thing is I dont want it to start removing songs that have a number in the first word.
Any help is much appreciated.
