My standard tagging scheme for single tracks is %artist%/%album% %date%/[%list_index% ]- %title%
When ripping CDs what should string contain in order to put parenthesis around DATE value? Checked Wiki but couldn't find a reference.

F:\_Tunes\Nick Cave\Murder Ballads (1996)\02 - Stagger Lee.mpc

Cheers

Something like this:

CODE

%artist%\%album% '('%date%')'\[$num(%track%,2) - ]%title%

That is, put single quotation marks around each parenthesis mark. Strings enclosed in single quotation marks are not parsed. See menu Help, Title Formatting Help, bottom of page.

Greetings,
