Use an action of the type "Guess value"  
Source: %title%  
Pattern: %artist% - %title%

I think you already got a fair number of hints how to get along with brackets and stuff:

> Hi all, I've got some files with words between round brackets in tags and filename and I want to get rid of the stuff like: original: (We are) The Road Crew what I want: The Road Crew But this for multiple files at once where the words between brackets of course vary in length. How do i do this?

and/or

> Hello there, I am trying to clean up my music library and have come across a problem. I am trying to clean up the artist tag so it only contains the primary artist. It would be good if any other artists tagged could be removed from any tags and instead the filename be amended to include the other artists in the following format: File Number File Name (feat. second artist, third artist etc) feat would be additional text\* Could someone please help me with this?

and if this is not enough, try the search word "move feat" in this forum.
