Also if by "Standard" you mean 1 letter in Caps, underscores replaced by spaces, etc... You might want to try Library:Clean up

It does marvels

One more thing, i use the search and replace function, is there a way to use wildcards?

Example of a songnames= "01. Scorpions - Wind of change"
                                           "02. Scorpions - Working day"
 
I want it to be "Wind of Change" and remove "x. Scorpions - "

How can i remove the numbers?

'search and replace function'? I didn't know there were any such function.

Is that your file name or your ID3 tag?
  You can proberbly do the job with either 'rename from tag' or 'fill proberties from filename.'

Could you restate your question? I would be happy to help, if I'm able to.

There is a function in Tools>Library Tools-> Search and replace,

Let's say that i have a album Deep_Purple_-_30_-_Very_Best_Of

It appears in MC like this:
Name:                                                                Artist:                  Album
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Deep Purple - 30 - Very Best Of - 01 - Hush             Deep Puple    Very best of
Deep Purple - 30 - Very Best Of - 02 - Black Night     Deep Puple    Very best of
Deep Purple - 30 - Very Best Of - 03 - Speed King     Deep Puple    Very best of
Deep Purple - 30 - Very Best Of - 04 - Child In Time   Deep Puple    Very best of


I want to remove "Deep Purple - 30 - Very Best Of - 01 - " in song #1
etc....

so it would look like this:
Name:                                                                    Artist:                  Album
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hush                                                                      Deep Puple    Very best of
Black Night                                                              Deep Puple    Very best of
Speed King                                                               Dep Puple    Very best of
Child In Time                                                            Deep Puple    Very best of

but since the number of each song changes i can't write replace "Deep Purple - 30 - Very Best Of - 01 - "
but i need to write somthing like: Deep Purple - 30 - Very Best Of - 0* - "

So the complete file name shows up as name in MC?

What is the actual file called?

Just trying to understand.

Did you try Tools/Library tools?

Rename file from properties
Fill properties from filename

Select a few files first.  Try a few before you do many.

Well it dosn't matter what the filename is, when i've imported the songs it shows  up with track number and somethimes album and artist in Songname

I want to remove them, nothing more.

Sure it matters,

ie, My files are named:

Alice Cooper-Alice Cooper Show-02-I'm Eighteen.ape

If my tags ended up all screwey then I could,
Library Tools
Fille Properties from file name
And change the parameters to :
[Artist]-[Album]-[Track #]-[Name]

So I'm guessing that your files are named something similar, If you could post 1 track name maybe we can help.

If you are looking for a 3rd party tool, I recommend Lupas Rename. It is freeware of course.  I use it all the time to clean up music files. I am sure there is a way to do it in MC but I find Lupas to be extremely easy.
