Remove part of the song title in the tag

Support

Hello,

I need help with this. After converting "File Name - Tag," I always get the number in front of the titles, such as 01, 02, 03, 04, etc. I'd like to remove that number and leave only the title. What string should I use?

Example: File Name: "01. Rock." I converted "File Name" to "Tag" and I get the title name: 01. Rock. I'd like to get only "Rock" in the title (without the 01). How do I remove the 01 from the title?

Thank you so much!

To get only the information from the filename into title you could use Convert>Filename-Tag
Format string: %track%. %title%
if you want to store also the track number in TRACK or
Format string: %dummy%. %title%

To get rid of the already imported numbers, try Convert>Tag-Tag for TITLE
Format string: $regexp(%title%,^\d+.\s*,)

Thanks, it worked great! Both "%track%. %title%" and "TITLE:$regexp(%title%,^\d+.\s*,)"

Another question: if I import folders in batch mode by first selecting the folders and then choosing "open with Mp3Tag," the files appear all together, not sorted numerically. However, if I click on the "import" folder (with the plus sign) within Mp3Tag, I can only select one folder at a time. Is there a way around this?
