Hi guys,
I have an MP3 file with the characters /\ in it. When I use the "Tag to Filename" function MP3Tag creates subfolders instead of renaming/escaping those characters.
Not sure if that is a bug or a feature, just wanted to report it.

It is a feature. See the FAQs: [/t/8016/1](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/8016/1)
If you want to take care of such characters, you have to create your own replacement-function like
$num(%track%,2) - $replace(%title%,/,_,,_)
