Hi,

I am wondering about the possibility to convert a certain part of file name to an album tag.

Example:  
Alison Wonderland - I Want U (The Haunting of Hill House OST)  
I would want to use the part that comes after the open bracket ( to an album tag.

Is that possible in this utility?

Tnx.

Use %dummy% for all the parts that you don't want to import  
e.g. %dummy%(%album%)
