Hi there  
I am very new to MP3Tag and have been using it to copy the filename of the file into the "Title" field and the "Comment".  
I use Convert -\> Filename to Tag %title%  
Then I use Convert -\> Filename to Tag %comment%  
This works well but is tedious as I have to change the "field" I want the filename to go to manually all the time.  
I have tried Convert -\> Filename to Tag %title%%comment% but this only puts the filename into the comment field  
Convert -\> Filename to Tag %title%, %comment% but the preview shows blank.

I am missing the syntax or something.  
IF possible, I would like to use the filename to write both the Title and the Comment field in the same operation.

Any help would be appreciated.

What does the seperator between TITLE and COMMENT in your filename look like?  
You have to use this separator in the format string.

The converters will not be helpful here.  
Try an action of the type "Guess value"  
Source: %\_filename%==%\_filename%  
Target string: %title%==%comment%
