I have a bunch of files that look like this:
10-shout_it_out_loud_220_lame_presetextreme.mp3
This is a Kiss song from the Alive 2 album.
I could use rename from tags but there is one problem with this. The track number in the tags shows up as 00. This would cause havoc for me since I like to order all my albums by track number so I need these to be correct.
So somehow I need to migrate the track numbers from the original file name to the tag, but just for the track number. Then I need to rename the files afterward using Rename from Tags.
Any idea how I can just get the track number corrected in the tag before I rename from the tags?
Forgive me this software is so powerful and I know it can be done but I can not figure out how to do it correctly. I 've been trying unsuccessfully for 45 minutes.
Thanks,
Dave

Use the following template in the auto tag from filename tool:
---------------------CODE SAMPLE-------------------
<TrackNr>-<TRASH>.mp3
---------------------CODE SAMPLE-------------------
Then use the auto rename tool to create filenames of any format.
And sure, what the hell, you're forgiven this time...
