When I use Foobar2000 to rename my files, I use to use the scheme : %tracknumber%. %artist% - %title% The result I get is this :

CODE

1. Baracuda - Damn.mp3
10. Snap - Rythm is A Dancer 2003.mp3
11. Kai Tracid - 4 Just 1 Day.mp3
12. Ralf Fridge - Man on Mars.mp3
13. 4clubbers - Someday.mp3
14. Andre Visior - Dont Go.mp3
15. Unit 5 - Feel the Stars.mp3
16. Masterboy - I Need A Lover Tonight.mp3
17. Sunstorm - Fable.mp3
18. Natalie - Dancing with Tears in My Eyes.mp3
19. Gouryella - Ligaya.mp3
2. Groove Coverage - God is A Girl.mp3
20. Tomcraft - Loneliness.mp3
3. DJ Sammy - Boys of Summer.mp3
4. Kate Ryan - Desenchantee.mp3
5. Lasgo - Pray.mp3
6. Milk Inc - Breathe Without You.mp3
7. Dee Dee - the One.mp3
8. Noemi - When Angels Kiss.mp3
9. Marc Et Claude - Loving You 2003.mp3

Is there any way of getting 0x rather than x for the tracknumber ?
I would have my files named like that :

CODE

01. Baracuda - Damn.mp3
02. Groove Coverage - God is A Girl.mp3
03. DJ Sammy - Boys of Summer.mp3
04. Kate Ryan - Desenchantee.mp3
05. Lasgo - Pray.mp3
06. Milk Inc - Breathe Without You.mp3
07. Dee Dee - the One.mp3
08. Noemi - When Angels Kiss.mp3
09. Marc Et Claude - Loving You 2003.mp3
10. Snap - Rythm is A Dancer 2003.mp3
11. Kai Tracid - 4 Just 1 Day.mp3
12. Ralf Fridge - Man on Mars.mp3
13. 4clubbers - Someday.mp3
14. Andre Visior - Dont Go.mp3
15. Unit 5 - Feel the Stars.mp3
16. Masterboy - I Need A Lover Tonight.mp3
17. Sunstorm - Fable.mp3
18. Natalie - Dancing with Tears in My Eyes.mp3
19. Gouryella - Ligaya.mp3
20. Tomcraft - Loneliness.mp3

This isn't possible with the actual Foobar2000 version, is it ?

Actually it is,
$num(%tracknumber%,2). %artist% - %title% would do the trick.
or convert tags so they had 0x in tracknumber field.

Regarding the masstagger, one enhancement I would like is a "guess values from metadata". This would be like the "guess values from filenames" except a metadata field would be used instead of the filename.

The reason I want it is too make a sepearate field from the title field for featuring artists. Say the title is in the format "Title Ft. Artist" you would use something like "%title2% Ft. %featuringartists%".

I know you could use the guess values from filenames to do this but tis more hassle (you want a diff naming scheme, illegal characters etc.)
