Hi Edwin,

next time please try to put your question in a readable form - it was very hard to read.

To copy the information from the filename to the tag, you can use the converter Filename - Tag with a formatstring  
%artist%-%title%

and to copy the info to the album field, just use the converter again with  
%album%-%dummy%

as formatstring.

Best regards,  
Florian
