I am sorting my music collection into a standard format. I would like to add some information from the folders that contain the mp3 files.
I have a folder structure that reads
"C:\Music\Artist\Artist - Year - Album Title"
I would like to get the information of the Artist, Year, and the Album title to be placed in the appropriate tag field.
Has anyone got a way to do this, or do I have to do it manually.
Help please
Andy

Use the converter filename-tag.
Enter a mask that looks like this:
%artist% - %year% - %album%\%dummy%
The preview should show whether the mask fits.
