I need assistance in using the tags feature but in a way that might not be normal. I want to take my folder structure and convert it into tags.

Folder structure is as follows:

E:\Country\Blake Shelton\Based On A True Story

E:\%GENRE%\%ARTIST%\%ALBUM%

So this is what I'm trying to convert to tags but I haven't successfully been able to do this. Can anyone provide suggestions and(or) a solution?

Thanks in advance
