Hi all, I need convert full path of filename to album tag field.

For example:  
"D:\Music\2015\Sven Väth\Eats Everything - Vertigo.mp3" -\>  
album: Music\2015\Sven Väth (including backslash)

How to I do this?

Mp3tag offers several ways to reach the goal, here is one proposal.

Convert "Tag-Tag"  
Field: ALBUM  
Formatstring: $replace('^'%\_path%'$','^D:',,''%\_filename\_ext%'$',)  
Result: Music\2015\Sven Väth

Replace also the backslashes ...  
Formatstring: $replace('^'%\_path%'$','^C:',,''%_filename\_ext%'$',,'','_')  
Result: Music\_2015\_Sven Väth
