Hi,

I have a directory sturcture something like this:  
\Mozart Collection - piano\CD1\*.mp3  
\Mozart Collection - piano\CD2\*.mp3  
\Mozart Collection - piano\CD3\*.mp3  
\Mozart Collection - arias\CD1\*.mp3  
\Mozart Collection - arias\CD2\*.mp3  
\Mozart Collection - arias\CD3\*.mp3

And I would like to make the Album tag for all the mp3 files equal to "Mozart Collection - _type_" + "-" + "CD_n_"  
In other words, Album tag = folder1 + "-" + folder2

How would I do this?

Thanks!  
Thor

Thor,

I'd use the converter Filename - Tag with a formatstring like  
**%album%\%temp%\%dummy%**

After importing the tags I'd create a [new action](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/967/1) Format value and choose **ALBUM** as field using  
**%album% - %temp%**  
as formatstring.

To get rid of the TEMP tag field, I'd select all files and use the extended tag dialog via View, Tags ....

Best regards,  
~ Florian
