I am trying to use the filename-\>tag option in 2.32

I have a filename

Soldiers Of The Press - 42-xx-xx - 03 - Richard McMillan - North Africa.mp3

I want the tags to be

artist = Soldiers Of The Press  
title = Richard McMillan - North Africa  
album = 42-xx-xx - 03

I am having problems getting the album to come out correctly. Is there anything I can do to get this to work?

Thanks

Hi stevendm!

Try this:  
Filename - Tag - Converter:

```
Formatstring: %artist% - %album% %album% %album% - %title%

```

Perfect. I didn't know that it would concatenate the multiple album tags like that.

Thanks
