Title: Song titles that start with numbers - MB automatically remove the numbers
Post by: superstar19 on October 21, 2021, 02:56:28 AM
Just noticed an issue where MB isn't allowing me to enter song title tags that start with a number without automatically removing the number. For example, if I try to tag a song as "17 Days", after I hit enter MB automatically removes the "17 " and the track title is displayed and stored as just "Days". Similar titled songs in my library are fine with no issues. It seems to only be an issue when I try to edit/change a title to have a number at the beginning. Had trouble coming up with anything searching previous posts so creating a new topic for this. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Are you using the Advanced Search and Replace module of the Additional Tagging and Reporting Tools plugin?
If so there's a preset to remove the track number from the title and you may have it set to automatically apply.

I think so. I have "additional tagging tools" listed under Plugins tab of Preferences. But when I select the "configure" button, I don't see any option to automatically remove the track number.

The configure button is used to configure the plugin.

In order to use the plugin you need to go to Tools > Tagging Tools > Additional Tagging Tools > Advanced Search & Replace. That will open the AS&R window. Start typing in the search box "remove the" and you'll see two presets that meant the criteria. Make sure neither of the boxes are checked. A check mark indicates that the preset is applied automatically.

Thank you very much. Yes, I used that operation recently to edit a file set that had track numbers in the Title. I didn't realize this would turn the operation "On" for future editing.

You're quite welcome. I've made that mistake myself a couple of times. Glad to hear it was an easy fix.
