Hello
I am very pleased with your excellent software, and I have a specific question. I would like to be able to copy filename to title + artist + album in one move, and I cannot find the way to do this. [As background, I have car audio which plays mp3s which displays title + artist + album in sequence at the beginning of the track – I find that displaying the title 3 times, rather than once only, gives me time to read it as I am driving]
I can use Convert Filename \> Tag 3 times (with a save after each convert). If I try to copy all 3 at once, 2 of the fields are set to blank.
Is there a way to do this in one move ? I appreciate your help and thank you in advance.

Hello,
actions-\>Guess values:
Source format: %\_filename% + %\_filename% + %\_filename%
Guessing pattern: %title% + %artist% + %album%
Maybe you must use another char than "+", because it is maybe in the filename.

gnor
