> PERFORMER = ARTIST OF THE ALBUM

See the FAQs how to copy one field to another:

> How to copy one field value to another field? Example how to copy the content of the ARTIST field to the ALBUMARTIST field: Create a [new action](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/actions/967/2) in an existing action group or make a new action group. Action type: Format value Field: ALBUMARTIST Format string: %artist% Note: If you want to copy all possible values of a field (in case you have multiple artist fields), the internal scripting function [$meta\_sep](https://docs.mp3tag.de/scripting) can be used in the format string, e.g., $meta\_sep(artist,\\\\)

> TRACK = 01, 02, 03......

Best would be the track numbering wizard Ctrl-K but that does not work in actions but has to be called from the GUI.  
If you want to set an ascending number to TRACK try an action of the type "Format value" for TRACK  
Format string: `$num(%_counter%,2)`

> POUCH = 1 (Covers.jpg in the artist's album directory)

There is an action for that:

> **[Import Cover from File – Mp3tag Documentation](https://docs.mp3tag.de/actions/import-cover/)**
>
> Documentation on the Import Cover action type that can be performed as Quick Action or as reusable workflow from Action Groups. Mp3tag is the universal Tag Editor.

> [@RYAN78](#):

> File name: 01 - Example01.mp3, 02 - Example.mp3, 03 - Example.mp3

I don't know what "Example" should be and where that data comes from. Is it a fixed string? Or is it the data from TITLE?  
In general, to create filenames from tag data, see the documentation:

> **[Rename Files – Mp3tag Documentation](https://docs.mp3tag.de/converters/rename-files/)**
>
> Documentation on Tag to Filename, a converter to rename files based on tags. Mp3tag is the universal Tag Editor.

> [@RYAN78](#):

> Comment: empty, Composer: empty, disc number: empty

There is an action to delete fields:

> **[Remove Fields – Mp3tag Documentation](https://docs.mp3tag.de/actions/remove-fields/)**
>
> Documentation on the Remove Fields action type that can be performed as Quick Action or as reusable workflow from Action Groups. Mp3tag is the universal Tag Editor.

It may be quicker to select all files, open the extended tags dialogue Alt-T and delete all unwanted fields there.

> [@RYAN78](#):
>
> Location: ARTIST\ALBUM\*.mp3 \*.jpg

I don't know what that location means. To create a folder structure from tag data is described in the documentation:

> **[Rename Files – Mp3tag Documentation](https://docs.mp3tag.de/converters/rename-files/#create-folder-structures-based-on-tags)**
>
> Documentation on Tag to Filename, a converter to rename files based on tags. Mp3tag is the universal Tag Editor.

And a request for future posts: please limit the topics in a single thread to just one. Otherwise it will become very confusing to answer the individual aspects.
