hello,
When you have songs in MP3 format, mostly the songtitle has the name of the file.
(of in combination with artist - title)
Now my question is:
Is it possible to generate title text from the filename without the extension.
example:
Beatles - Piano\_Theme.mp3 ---\> Piano Theme (title)
please let me know.
I will save me a lot of time 🙂

Use "Convert \> filename - tag"
Just enter
%artist% - %title%
or
%dummy% - %title%
if you don't want to fill the artist tag.

If you want to replace the \_ with a space, Convert -\> Actions -\> create a new group and add the Guess Values action. On the source put $replace(%_filename%,_, ) and on the guessing pattern %dummy% - %title%
