hello again guys.  
Is there a way that my file name "artist name - song name", the TITLE has only "song name" and ARTIST "artist name" either by 'tag - tag' or another way, or does it have to be done manually? , as each file name has the "-", I don't know if there is a solution  
Here I show an example of how I do it manually

Try Convert\>Tag-Filename Alt-1  
Format string: `%artist% - %title%`

the preview should show the probable result

thanks again, only here it was the other way around Alt-2, I really don't know what was wrong with me that I couldn't find a solution  
I did all this manually and spent hours and hours  
thank you very much ohrenkino

Another question, if from the file name "NEFFEX - Winning", I only want to put the "NEFFEX" in ARTIST, how do I do it?
