You could use 3/16 instead of [3/16], like this:

$tracknumber^$totaltracks^/$title^ ^$subtitle^ (^)$originaldate^ [^]}

I still use the version with the [ because every title in my filebase has a tracknumber and of course a title, actually it look's great, tahnk you for your support.

But I have another question, but I think it has nothing to do with Title.displayFormat:

Actually I'm organizing my files with tags date and originaldate.
Example:

"Best Of 80s"-Sampler, the release date of the cd is 2004, therefor date=2004, the originaldate of every track is the year it was released, ergo originaldate=1984.

One of the default browsing options is date. If I use that for browsing I will find the titles under 2004, not 1984. Is it possible to do something like

if "originaldate" is filled, then use the value of "originaldate" for the date of the title, if not, use the value of "date" as date of the title.
