Some of my mp3's have pair of quotes within the title tags.. I know I can use $validate() to strip them away... But I would like to replace them with pair of blankets instead.

i.e.

Title:  
Song featuring "Wow Wow"

Artist:  
Someone

File Name:  
(Someone) Song featuring [Wow Wow].mp3

Need help about this... Does $replace() support regular expressions?

No.

My solution:  
In tag -\> file name do:  
(%artist%) $replace(%title%,",'[')  
And after that you can use an RegEx action to put the last [in a]
