Breezed thru topics so i may have missed this..

I keep getting file names and id3 tags looking like this...

Gordon Lightfoot - Over 60 Minutes With Gordon Lightfoot - 01 - For Lovin' Me -  -  - .mp3

1) Im using this string for Auto Tag (from filename):
<Artist>_-_ <Album>_-_ <TrackNr>_-_ <Title>.mp3

using _-_ for field seperator and replacing _ with <space>

After I get the tag set...

2) Im using this string for Auto Rename (from tags):
<Artist> - <Album> - <TrackNr> - <Title>.mp3

using <space>-<space> for field seperator


How can I get it to stop adding the 3 extra "-" at the end of the filename/tag? Is it adding extra - for the other fields, even tho I'm not selecting them?


Thnx for any help.

That sounds very strange. Normally, filenames would get sequences like " -  -  - " when some fields are empty, but in your example all the used fields are filled in, and you still get these dashes at the end of the filename. If you have an example file that produces this result, please send it to me and I will analyze it.
