Hello,
I leave slashes in the filename if the track title uses them (for example, "Drive My Car/The Word/What You're Doing") but Windows doesn't allow them in the filename.
I would like to be able to replace them with dashes in the filename (so the above becomes, "Drive My Car-The Word-What You're Doing"). It seems like conversions should be able to do it, but it does it to everything, even the %title% field.
I guess I could do regexp, but i really don't know it very well at all.
Any suggestions?

When you rename your files with "Convert \> Tag - filename" you can use something like $replace(%title%,/,-)
