Hello,
I switched to a tag-based only library audio player and need to tag a lot of my albums. I was wondering if it is possible to tag from the folder name the mp3 is actually within. All my albums are named like this :
Artist name - Album name/Track Number - Track name.mp3
I can retrieve the Track number and Track name using File name -\> Tag but I have no clue how to retrieve the Artist name and Album name into the tag.
Thanks.

File name -\> Tag also supports folder names with a backslash:
Use format string:
%artist% - %album%\%track% - %title%
