You might want to take a look at Writing a File Naming Script — MusicBrainz Picard v2.6.3 documentation . The example there is pretty similar to the naming you want.
I see it but I don’t see the script
Something simple like this would do what you want:
$num(%tracknumber%,2) - %artist% - %title%
The $num(...,2)
around the %tracknumber%
is just to format the track number with leading 0, as you have indicated.
I wish I understood this a bit better. Thanks for the help.
It’s really not that complicated. Things surrounded by percentage signs are variables, e.g. %title%
is a variable holding the track title. If you want your files to have the track title as a name your naming script is:
%title%
When you save a MP3 file for the song “Young Black Male” it will end up as “Young Black Male.mp3”. If you want to have the artist in front you use the %artist%
variable. If you want some characters in between, like the " - ", you just write them out:
%artist% - %title%
Same for tracknumber:
%tracknumber% - %artist% - %title%
Perfect. This worked. Thanks
