Hi there.

Over the past few years I have been ripping my CDs and converting them to mp3 with EAC, not caring too much about tags or filenames. Recently I have started to rip my CDs to flac, with EAC as well.

These filenames follow as: %artist% - %album% - %track% - %title%

I'd like follow this along and convert (tag -\> filename) my mp3 files to this convention as well. But I am finding it difficult, because when I started ripping and converting (I forget which player I was using), I put the track number in the title, to allow for an album to play in order. But now I can not figure it out how to get the track number out.

I tried tag -\> filename which almost works--  
example:

original filename: (%title% - %artist%) 01. These Are The Days - 10000 Maniacs.mp3  
changes to: 10000 Maniacs - 10,000 Maniacs - MTV Unplugged - 01 - 01. These Are The Days.mp3

All would be well if someone could help me figure out how to remove the 'XX.' from %title%.

Any takers? Please.
