In my Tag to Filename conversion preview I am seeing the full path as the first item. I did not enter a %path% and do not want it. Why is this there??
And the tag info repeats a second time. Why is that there??
Also, in the filename column the path is not shown but when I Preview the filename from the convert dialog I see the path and.... I see it in Winamp when the title setting is for "advanced title formating".
I do not see any Mp3tag setting to use path or folder.
Tag string from Mp3tag
%artist%-%origartist%-%origyear%-%isrc%-%origlyricist%-%subtitle%-%initialkey%-%language%-%year%-%band%-%conductor%-%albumartist%-%album%

Since you can also change the files' location via this converter, showing the path at the preview is valid behaviour. I don't understand the problem.

OK so...
If the folder path only shows as a function of preview that's fine.
And if Winamp also adds a file name in advanced title mode then I guess I won't worry about seeing the path in preview and try to find a setting in Winamp to not show path in title.
Cheers.
