To answer your question ...  
see forum FAQs  
(for creating actions):  
[/t/967/1](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/967/1)  
and for your particular problem:  
[/t/967/1](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/967/1)

modify the settings of the example that you select the field  
title  
and add as format string:  
%title% - %artist%

... but I wouldn't do it.  
It is a much better idea to leave the artist as it is and fill the Albumartist tag instead as this used by iTunes and WMP (and others) to group albums together.  
Also: if you join artist and title into the title tag then it is fairly difficult to separate them again... So please think twice.

To add a certain string to a field you use the same type of action e.g.  
Title  
Format String  
%title% (Live)

You have to select the files that should be handled by an action and then execute the action.
