I have the following filename: Bruce Springsteen\_Born to run.mp3 and I want to use part of the filename for a title and artist how do I do this.

I want Bruce Springsteen only to the artist tag and Born to Run only to the title tag.

Do Convert \> Filename - Tag and for the format string put in

%artist%\_%title%

You can click on Preview to see if it will work properly.
