Please tell us a real example filename and what exactly you expect to be the new song title (TITLE) and/or singer name (ARTIST).

[Convert Filename -\> Tag](https://docs.mp3tag.de/getting-started/first-steps/#importing-parts-of-the-file-name-to-the-tag) has to be very specific and exactly matching your real filename.

In general, have a look at the documentation:

> **[Import Tags from File and Folder Names – Mp3tag Documentation](https://docs.mp3tag.de/converters/import-tags-from-filenames/)**
>
> Documentation on Filename to Tag, a converter to import tags from file and folder names. Mp3tag is the universal Tag Editor.
