Hi,
Is it possible to neglect certain characters from the filename and use only the others to create a title?
All my mp3 filenames are arranged this way: "xx title" (e.g. "01 Hello" ... "99 Hello"), so what I'd like to do is to ignore the first 3 characters and use only the title - starting from the 4th character. I tried using Help but I just got more confused seeing all these commands.
Thanks in advance!

You can use the converter Filename - Tag with a format string like
%dummy% %title%
to only import the title to the tag.
Best regards,
Florian
