Hi, I'm trying to get mp3tag to rename my filenames for my songs.. I want the original file: artist-title to look like artist - title. Also is there a way that when you tag from filenames that the program automatical converts any song filenames in the artist-title format to artist - title. ---

You can use the converter ![:mt_ftt:](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/1X/6ab8d95b0c2a82cb4f9b0eb16ea87ad3a6575015.png ":mt\_ftt:") Filename - Tag to import the information to the tag using the format string %artist%-%title% Afterwards, just use the converter ![:mt_ttf:](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/1X/922db76db5d45b2e558d10f3d8c25fb8bc04fd27.png ":mt\_ttf:") Tag - Filename with the format string %artist% - %title% to rename your files. Kind regards, Florian ---
