Hello all,

I've been looking for a resolution to this, but cannot find exactly how to do this.

When I convert from tag to filename, I would like to remove spaces. For example, the artist and song:

The Smashing Pumpkins, Bullet With Butterfly Wings

I would like the filename to be

TheSmashingPumpkins\_BulletWithButterflyWings

Thanks in advance!

If you use the Convert\>Tag-Filename function, enclose the mask for the filename in a $replace() function, e.g.:  
$replace(%artist%\_%title%, ,)
