If I have files whose track titles contain trash, how do I remove just the trash? For instance, if I have:
(01) Track One Title.mp3
but I want it to be
Track One Title.mp3

How does one do this if the info is not in the filename?

For your example with the filename, you could use the following setup in the "Direct rename files" tool:

Expected:
Code Sample
<TRASH> <Title>.mp3


Output:
Code Sample
<Title>.mp3




If the same problem is in a tag field (e.g. the title tag), you will have to use a two step process (until I implement the super advanced mode for the direct tag manipulation tool anyway :)), e.g. like this:

Export a list with the following template (with the list maker tool):
Code Sample
<Title>


Import this list with the "Tag/rename from list" tool (in tag mode), with the following template:
Code Sample
<TRASH> <Title>




Or, to skip the intermediary list:



Auto rename with the template:
Code Sample
<Title>.mp3


Auto tag with the template:
Code Sample
<TRASH> <Title>.mp3


Go back to the auto rename tool and press the undo button.


Done and done. ;)
