For the life of me I can't remember this.
I've written a batch file that will extract the ID3V2 tags (Title and Track Number), store them as environment variables, rename the title to "%TrackNo% - %CurTitle%" and then delete the environment variables, ready for the next input, but, I cannot for the life of me rememeber how I would set this going for a folder full of songs.
I know it's going to be something like:
FOR /F %%A in ('dir C:\blah\blah\') DO CALL ...
but it isn't happening.
Help!

The Alfa plays my songs of my iPod in bloody track name order, not track order, so I'm appending the track number to the beginning of the track name.,

Why didn't you use Mp3tag (http://www.mp3tag.de/en/)?

Because it doesn't do what I want it to do

'appending track number to the beginning of the track name' - Mp3tag will do that, use the tag - filename option.

Sorry, perhaps I wasn't as clear as I wanted to me. It's the title MP3 tag I want to change in mass, not the filename

Use Mp3tag 'Actions' and create a new action to reformat the Title (tag doesn't show in the drop-downs, still works though) tag (Format Value Title: %track% - %title%). Then you can apply that to selected mp3s. Had to do something similar in the past (could have export the action for you), hence why i mentioned it.
