I have a lot of live mp3 files which are untagged. I can put them in Foobar2000 for automatic track numbers which isn't the issue. This is my Windows Explorer view:

I'm wondering if there is a way with Foobar2000 to change track names.
For example from 20050405_U2_LA1_04 Vertigo to Vertigo.

Taken from an older answer

  1. Right click your files you want to rename and select Properties in the context menu
  2. Go to Tools ยป Automatically fill values...
  3. Select Other... as Source and enter $trim($substr(%filename%,$strchr(%filename%, ),999))

  4. Set Pattern to %Title% and click OK

How the formula works

  1. %filename% returns the filename. 20050405_U2_LA1_04 Vertigo in our example
  2. $strchr(%filename%, ) finds first occurrence of a character in a string. In our example it searches for the first space and returns 20 as its position
  3. $substr(%filename%, 20, 999) returns a substring of a string, starting at position 20 (taken from example) and ending at 999 (should be long enough to cover all cases). Our example would return Vertigo with a leading space
  4. $trim( Vertigo) removes the leading space
