I've got a lot of files with the following filenames:  
15Lasgo - Surrender.mp3

Now I would like to use mp3tag to get tagnames from the filenames,  
like:  
%track%%artist% - %title%

problkem is that this returns:  
**track:** empty  
**artist:** 015Lasgo  
**title:** Surrender

Is there a way to separate the 15 from Lasgo within mp3tag?
