I had this error showing up:
```auto
Datei "D:\Musik_incoming\DC++\02-morttimer_snerd_iii-the_one_(remixes)_(ms_iii_2026_dizko_rebump_12_edit).mp3" kann nicht in "D:\Musik_incoming\DC++\Morttimer Snerd III - The One (Remixes) (MS III 2026 Dizko reBump 12 Edit).mp3" umbenannt werden.
Die Syntax für den Dateinamen, Verzeichnisnamen oder die Datenträgerbezeichnung ist falsch.
```
and the syntax set is: %artist% - %title%
There's no duplicate existing there.

Does this happen all the time or just to this file?
Please show us also a screenshot of the extended tags dialogue Alt-T for this file
