I am using windows 2003, and I can't use the feature of extracting filname to title. I am talkin about the "Filename - Tag" button.
Is there any other way to set title = filename?
However, it works fine on my laptop with XP pro.

Is your format string %title% ?

Yes this is exactly what I have. In the 'Filename - tag' dialog box I can see the preview of the filename. But once I click on okie, nothing happens.
Here is the output when I click preview button:
**For one files**
"D:\eng songs\Artists\B2k\You Can Get It.mp3" -\>
filename: You Can Get It
**For 2 or more files**
"D:\eng songs\Artists\2pac\Words My First Born.mp3" -\>
filename: Words My First Born
"D:\eng songs\Artists\Beyonce\Work It Out.mp3" -\>
filename: Work It Out

If you had entered **%title%** in the box the preview would show
"D:\eng songs\Artists\B2k\You Can Get It.mp3" -\>
**title** : You Can Get It
and not filename:

yes this seems to be working. But I though we have to use %filename^.
Anyways Thank you.
You can delete this topic I guess.
