I would convert the filenames in 3 steps.
Step 1: Sort your mp3 in mp3tag by filename, assuming you start with the songs artist..., select and mark all your songs named like this Step 2: Use ALT-3 (Converter filename - filename) Mask formatstring for old filename %1... %2 - %3 - %4 Mask formatstring for NEW filename %1 %4 Check if the preview shows your desired filenames. Press OK. Step 3: Repeat Step 2: Mask formatstring for old filename %1... %2 - %3 - %4 Mask formatstring for NEW filename %1 %3 Check if the preview shows your desired filenames. Press OK. |

I think it's about the tags Title and Artist, not the filename.
