It's been awhile since I've used Mp3tag but I've just downloaded the newest version and want to start organizing my files again.

I would like to use [and] in my filenames - like [03] Artist - Title.mp3. Somehow I can't use [and] like in the old version - gives me a syntax error when I try to.

Is there someway to get around this?

This has been asked so many times before. Simply write **'['%track%']'** for example.

Sorry about that but I tried searching for it but couldn't find anything on it.

But thank you!
