Renumbering Music files

Help & Support
1

I have loads of mp3 music files and want to make a playlist.

The files are as follows:
01 Bigal - Why am I so great.mp3
04 Bigal02 - I'm so handsome.mp3
07 Bigalfan - If I could be like you.mp3

Is there a way to organise the track numbers (01, 04, 07...) to 01, 02, 03...?
I want to keep the artist's name and track title the same.

All help will be appreciated.

Try

Rename FINDREP REGEXP PATTERN=^\d\d TO=[#] IGNOREEXT NUMBER=01 AUTONUMBER

I am a self-confessed Dumbo with Opus and the last time used the Command Editor (with help from this forum) was a simple renumber of audiobook files.

I can't remember how to open the editor to add code (script?) to do this function.

I have the music tracks on an MP3 stick (D) but as I can't access the gubbins of Opus to try the code you kindly sent me,, I'm no nearer than I was yesterday.

Check out How to use buttons and scripts from this forum.

I made a button, copied and pasted the above code into the 'Function' field.
Clicked OK, OK.

I highlighted the tracks I wanted to renumber, clicked on the new button and nothing happened.

I appreciate you trying to help me but I think that I'm beyond hope.

Thanks for trying.

Wait a second... Opus 12 is indeed different..

Please try this:

Rename FINDREP REGEXP PATTERN=^\d\d TO=[#] IGNOREEXT NUMBER=01

Success! Thank you for sticking with it.

Just when I thought that Leo the Mighty was unassailable, there could be a new kid on the block called xlp!
