Hi, I am trying to use Auto-organise to alter my filenames. After previous disasters trying to make sense of this tool I am doing it album by album in the hope that if it goes wrong again manually putting it right is not too big a job.
You can see my problem by my screenshot. (I wish)
The current album file contains the following in the filename.
A 2 digit track number, followed by the artist a dash then the name of the song. eg.
Great Big Sea\Turn\01 Great Big Sea - Bad As I Am.flac
I wish it to read; artist then a 3 digit track number then the name of the song (no dashes). eg.
Great Big Sea\Turn\Great Big Sea 101 Bad As I Am.flac
However, the "new" column (showing what would happen if I hit the OK button) with Auto organise shows it will read
Great Big Sea\Turn\Great Big Sea 101 01 Great Big Sea - Bad As I Am.flac
I wrote the auto-organise rule as (I tried replacing the Artist with Album Artist in the filename but it came out the same.
Audio\Music\<Album Artist>\<Album>\<Artist> <Track#:3> <Filename>
What am I doing wrong, please? Could it be something connected with the criteria box which I have left blank as both the you tube tutorials I saw didn't mention it.
Thanks

Great...now I can't find the paperclip image, why oh why is nothing simple or standard with Media monkey. I have a screenshot that would perfectly show the problem but apparently we can't add files... I will go back over this and try and put in more detail to get around the deficiency.
