I'm wondering if there is an easy way to remove the total tracks out of files?
Most of my files simply have the track number, but some of them have say 1 of 10. I just want to remove the of 10 part, while leaving the track number alone. Is there an easy way to do this?
MP3Tag or Foobar should be able to do it easily.

Drop all files in a foobar2000 playlist. Make sure all tracks are selected (ctrl+a), right-click on them and select Properties.
In the Metadata list, right-click on Total Tracks and select Remove.
That's it.
I managed to remove the total tracks field. But I have some where the TRACK field has 1/10 in it?
Is there a simple way to remove the /10 but leave the 1?
I did a whole heap manually, but it would be great to know if there is an automated way to do this.
You can do this in MP3TAG. Just click the autonumbering wizard, make sure you check reset counter for each directory and leading zeros for tracknumbers if you want 01, 02 if not leave it unchecked.

Excellent, I'll give that a go. thanks!

Aren't 'total track' tags and track tags formatted as 1/10 the same? I thought that the total number of tracks is the number after '/' in the track tag
Foobar has great tagging features

I believe this is right, I guess some people prefer track number and total tracks separate. For MP3 the standard way is #/##, if I'm not mistaken. It should be correctly displayed when playing back on your dap ie... track number when playing 01, instead 01/10 for example.

Why not import into foobar, sort by track-number, select all the 1/10 tracks and change to 1 in properties, etc.?

That is another option, tho with MP3Tag it is automated.
Add all of the songs to a playlist in foobar. Select all, right-click, and choose Properties. Once you're there, right-click 'Track Number' and choose 'Format from Other Fields...' Now, in the 'Format' box type: $num(%tracknumber%,2)
Also make sure to delete the 'Total tracks' field.
So this was a post from 2008...
..which proved to be really useful to me
But then I wonder, in 2016, is there anything more simple?
