Hi guys... BRAND New to tagging. I need a quick action code to rename my filename like the first trace in my list. I usually manually go through to rename  
but I know there has got to be an easier way. Please help.

I need to change from just 01 - Trackname to 01-01 - trackname  
Thanks!

What data do you have in the other fields? I can see only TITLE and that seems to be a mixture of TITLE and TRACK.  
Perhaps you separate the data first and then rename the files with the function  
Convert\>Tag-Filename.

If you insist to fiddle about with the filenames then you could also use the function  
Convert\>Filename-Filename  
Source: %1 - %2  
Target: %1-%1 - %2

Why do you need the leading number twice?
