Is there a way for mp3tag to automatically change the track # from

song 1 to song 01  
song 2 to song 02  
...

basically i want my files tagged with a "zero" for tracks 1 to 9.

right now i have been manually adding the zero for some albums that come without the zero padding.

can mp3tag do it automatically?  
pls help...if it is possible.

thank you.

Hi,

What I do is select all, then press alt+1, then I have this written in:  
$num(%track%,2) and also title.

It's such a powerful program huh - I love it.
