Ok, I love Mp3tag, but have a question. When I have a song where it is named like this
artist\_name-title\_of\_the\_song
I know haw to make it as the tag, but how do I take the above and make the underlines into space so that in the appropriate fields it will be like this.
artist name-title of the song

I guess artist\_name-title\_of\_the\_song.mp3 is your filename? Please be more exact about that, there are many ways a song can be "named".
If it is your filename:
Step by Step Solution:
1.Step:
Action: Replace
Field: \_FILENAME
Original: \_
Replace with : " " _(without quotationmarks, just a single space)_
2.Step:
Action: Case Conversion
Field: \_FILENAME
Case Conversion: Mixed Case
Words begin from/after any of: -
3.Step:
Converter: Filename - Tag
Formatstring: %artist%-%title%
One Step Solution:
Action: Guess Values
Sourceformat: $caps($replace(%_filename%,_, ),- )
Formatstring: %artist%-%title%
