I had purchased a bunch of "Vitamin String Quartet " CDs and Ripped them to file folders named after the original artist ...eg Pink Floyd. The individual songs are tagged as such:

Folder - Pink Floyd  
Filename - 05-Comfortably Numb  
Artist - Vitamin String Quartet  
Title - Comfortably Numb

Now what I would like to do is make the tags like this:

Filename - Vitamin String Quartet - Comfortably Numb (Pink Floyd)  
Artist - Vitamin String Quartet  
Title - Comfortably Numb (Pink Floyd)

If someone could assist I would be forever grateful 🙂

It is not _really_ clear what you want.  
Append the folder name to the title? And then generate a new filename?

To append the folder name to the title you may use the function Convert\>Tag-Tag for TITLE  
Format string: %title% (%\_directory%)

To get a new filename you may use the function Convert\>Tag-Filename  
Format string: %artist% - %title%

BUT: have you extracted the track number before you overwrite the filename? I would do that first so that that piece of information is not lost.
