Hi dano:

May I please request a couple of actions and please describe which action is which? Second, for these actions I'm requesting from you, do I use the filename-tag first? Yes or no?

The actions I'm requesting are on a single album it would read as let's say 01 Song Name, 02 Song Name.

And then for a multi disc it would be 1-01 Song Name, 2-01 Song Name, 10-01 Song Name.

Where 1 is the disc number and 01 is the track number, and where is 10 is the disc number 01 is the track number and that is before the song name.

Thank you,

Do your files have proper discnumber tags?

I would say yes, but I don't like the way I tagged in iTunes.

Will you answer my post above?

Then that means you don't have to use filename-tag. Or what do you want to do with filename-tag ?

Concerning the actions, I have given you an action that almost does that.  
You just have to adjust the format string a little:  
_[$num(%discnumber%,1)-]$num(%track%,2) %title%_

This assumes that your single disc albums have no discnumber tag.

Thank you!

What exactly do I need to adjust in this string? [$num(%discnumber%,1)-]$num(%track%,2) %title%

I never done anything like that before and I don't know what I need to adjust and how to adjust it.

Sorry I was unclear. That string is already adjusted.

That's good then. And use TITLE for the field? Or if not what should the field be?
