Using 'filename to tag', enter %album%\%title%.

The \ character splits a directory and a filename or another directory, so if your files are organised in directories something like:

Alternative\The Jesus & Mary Chain\1985 Psychocandy\01 - Just Like Honey.mp3

%genre%\%artist%\%year% %album%\%track% - %title%

will fill out a tag with

genre - Alternative  
artist - The Jesus & Mary Chain  
year - 1985  
album - Psychocandy  
track - 01  
title - Just Like Honey
