I like my mp3's to look a certain way (01 - TrackName.mp3) and show certain info when played in Windows Media Player 11: ![](http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/6808/clp1cl0.jpg) track - titleName [length] = TITLE ARTIST year - albumName [total tracks] = ALBUM) , so i created my own little stupid action: _Action type:_ **Remove fields** _Field:_ **GENRE;COMMENT** _Action type:_ **Format value** _Field:_ **TRACK** _Formatstring:_ **$num(%\_counter%,2)** _Action type:_ **Format value** _Field:_ **TITLE** _Formatstring:_ **%track% - %title% '['%\_length%']'** _Action type:_ **Format value** _Field:_ **ALBUM** _Formatstring:_ **%year% - %album% '['%\_total\_files%, XX:XX']'** Please tell me if you see a better... prettier? lol ... way to do that. But what I would really like to do is to have total play time of all the album tracks to be in the album name after total number of tracks. I can't figure out how to do that with reg.expressions, what to put there instead of XX:XX? P.S. Mp3tag is really great, IMHO allowing to create custom formating with powerful build-in Scripting functions and regular expressions makes it absolutly the best! edit: Maybe, I'm doing it backwords? Instead of ugly repeating tag info in other fields I should find a hack for WMP11 that would show the tags i want to see? Please share any advice u have... :tide --- _[View the full topic](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/total-lengh-of-album/4730)._
