I really am bad at mask's, so this is more of a bump, because you deserve an answer and someone will correct my bad answer.
But, you should be able to write a mask for this to be used with auto-organizing and ripping, etc...
Something like:
Should add a zero.
But, like I said I suck at Masks, so it could be:
Someone will now probably pipe in with the right answer!
At any rate you can use Bex's
Case & Leading Zero Fixer to fix the tracks without a leading zero.

The mask sets the number of digits in the
filename and does nothing for the display within MM. The correct mask is
If it's the display you're wanting to affect as well, Bex's script can however "force" MM to show track and disc numbers with a leading zero. Just set it in the options to Add Leading Zero and you can use it on a single file, in batches, or on your whole library in one go. D Rock provided the link above.

thanks for the replies!
If i understand correctly the masks are only for the filenames - but what i want to change are the tags.
And that script, what does it do, just force the Monkey to SHOW a leading Zero, or relly add it in the tag?

ever hear of manual typing? thats the only answer i know of for adding track numbers with more then one number in the tags.
i know i know it reminds me of the old hoyt axton song. boney fingers.

AFAIK there's no script to force MM to write a leading zero.
But with this script you can fix your whole library with one click:

EDIT: It really adds the '0' to the tag!

Just downloaded the script from the site mentioned in this thread. After I unzip it & try to open the mmip file nothing happens & my system locks up.
Windows XP SP2
MM3 - 1140 Gold

You could try to manually install.
Delete all references to the script in your monkey's program files/monkey/scripts.
Then do a manual install by coping the code from
here.
Then, following these instructions:
Code: Select all
' INSTALL, Two different ways:
'
' ** Update existing Case script (wich is shipped with MM) **
' 1) Goto "Mediamonkey\Scripts" folder. Open up the existing script named Case.vbs in e.g. Notepad
' 2) Replace all the code in the file with this code
' 3) (Re)start MediaMonkey
'
' ** Separate Install, which will work independently of the Case script **
' 1) Goto "Mediamonkey\Scripts" folder. Right click and create a txt file.
' 2) Name it CaseModify.vbs (Make sure it's not named CaseModify.vbs.txt)
' 3) Copy all this content into the file and save it.
' 4) Open up the scripts.ini file located in the same folder and add the text below to the end of the file
'[CaseModify]
'FileName=CaseModify.vbs
'ProcName=TitleCase
'Order=10
'DisplayName=Case Modify...
'Description=
'Language=VBScript
'ScriptType=0
'Shortcut=Ctrl+E
.

drjboulder - Thanks for the info. I'm not very technical so i've relied on the installer packages for the scripts i've used so far. If i do try a manual install as you suggest would that give me the latest version.
