I have searched the forums, only to come up empty so I am not sure this is even possible.
I have a few files that have the FILENAME, which is exactly the same as the TITLE. I need this to stay that way. And the ARTIST, which is completely different but the same for every file.
I would like to make the TITLE tag a combination of the of two, to look like this
"ARTIST w/FILE NAME".
Is there either a way to combine the ARTIST and FILENAME, to make up the TITLE tag....or is there a way for me to enter custom info into the FILENAME-TAG option so I can add the name of the artist...(the artist is the same for everyone)
Hope this makes sense.
Thanks in advance.

Make a [new action](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/967/1):
_Action type:_ **Format value**
_Field:_ **TITLE**
_Format string:_ **%artist% w/%\_filename%**

Thanks so much. I knew there was way to do this. I just recently discovered the REAL power of this program, though I have been using it for years.
Many thanks!
