Hello  
I have arround 15000 titles which havn`t any information about the title of the album.  
what i have, is the album name in the folder structure like: H:\Compliations\<b\>Metal Ballads.  
So the second one is the name of the album.

How can i adding automaticaly the name on it, without to do that manually?  
With that i hope i can find the Album-Interpret!  
Thank you in advanced for your support.

Frank
