I used MP3TS to rename all my files to the format Artist - track.mp3. I then used Notmad to transfer these to my NJB3. during the process the names changed to artist - album - # - track.mp3.mp3.
I used MP3TS to scrub out the fields I didn;t want but I am still left with artist - title.mp3.mp3 where the first.mp3 is part of the title field. how can I correct this without manually renaming 2,000 files?

Ok, first out, it was not Mp3/Tag Studio that messed up the filesnames like that, right? If you think it was, you might have used the wrong template somewhere, but if you still believe it is a bug you are very welcome to provide a more detailed description about how to reproduce it, and I will take a look at it.
Anyway, if I have understood you correctly, all of your title fields now end with ".mp3" and you want to remove that?
In that case, I would use the "Direct tag manipulation" tool with one translation:
---------------------CODE SAMPLE-------------------
<Title> ---> <Title>
---------------------CODE SAMPLE-------------------
and then use the following substring replacement with that:
---------------------CODE SAMPLE-------------------
".mp3" --> ""
---------------------CODE SAMPLE-------------------
That will work fine (provided that I didn't misunderstand your desired operation).

Thanks Magnus
MP3TS is completely absolved of blame, It was the Nomad 3 which screwed up my tags. Thanks for the reply, I will try it when I get home tonight
