It happens on some of the other but is mainly this one that causes the problem. %album% - $num(%track%,2) - %artist% - %title% will write the tag like this "album track artist title" to correct it I have to use %album%- $num(%track%,2) - %artist% - %title%. Sometimes the problem happens after track also. Any suggestions?

Are you sure the extra space is not in the title? Any special characters, maybe?

I just sort of dawned on me - if I'm C&P the information - if I have gone one space to far and the script is reacting to that.
