I want words like "in" "the" "and" to be lower case in filename and in playlist. If i have a .flac file that has lowercased "and" in the file and tag, and I edit the tag and change the track number, it renames the file and starts all words with capital letters. THIS SUCKS!!

How can I stop foobar from renaming my files?

I'm pretty sure you went into the file renamer tool, which not surprisingly renames files. try the masstagger instead.

i just right-clicked on it and went to "Properties" (file info). I clicked on EDIT for METADATA. Why is it renaming the file?

Masstagger is alot more work for just single song renaming.
