When exporting multiple files using “Numbering before Label/Track Name” how do I get rid of the hyphen between the track number and name?

I have been through the settings and could find no way of removing them. I think it’s assumed you would want them. The only way I can think of is to use a bulk rename utility and do them all in one go. You could replace every hyphen with a space or underscore.

If you use macOS, select more than one file, right-click, and select “remame”. You then get a dialog where you can do several changes to your filenames - for example replace one character (the -, for example) by something else (a space, or something else).

Mark,

Thanks for the quick response; I was afraid of that. I use Windows 10. Can you recommend a Windows utility that can a bulk rename and replace characters like a hyphen? I know Windows Explorer can’t do that.

There is one called Bulk Rename Utility that I used on Windows. If you Google it you should find it. It does have a bewildering number of options though so be prepared. On Linux Mint (and Mac apparently) it is easier.
If you try and still struggle I will install it on my Windows 10 machine tomorrow and remind myself how to do it.
Good luck :crossed_fingers:

Mark,

Thanks! Bulk Rename Utility does the job; just what I needed. Yes, it does have LOTS of options, but the replace option was easy to find and use. Again, thanks. Danny
