Hello again. Facing another, bit more frustrating problem

Got a lot of audio files. Some have proper Artist and Title field, some have full artist name and title in Title field. How can I sort out only the ones which have full song name in Title field and apply that to file name? So I separate the "messed up" tags from proper tags what are good to go for "Tag to filename" conversion. They appear randomly right now in the whole list so I either have to select the good ones one by one, by hand or is there better method?

Here's an example what I mean. The first 2 songs have proper Artist and Title field ready for "Tag to filename" conversion, the last 2 in the list are messed up and I need to apply only the Title field to filename.

How?

Sorry, I see no difference. How do you find out what is "messed up".

The first 2 lines: The voyager - back on blablabla and the other is good  
The left one is artist tag row and the right one is title tag row.

You can see last 2 have full name in title tag.

The one's that are "messed up" have **Artist - Songtitle** in one tag, Title

You say the left row is artist (Tiesto) and the right row is the messed up title tag with the artist in the title tag (Ballroom - Passenger (Marc O'Toole Remix). Why is there no "Tiesto" in this tag?

You can use an action of the type "Guess value" (import tag-field) for TITLE  
Use as guessing pattern: %artist% - %title%

You have to use the correct separator between the data that represents the artist and the one that is the title. It is not qute clear whether you have a number of blanks or a hyphen as separator.

Because it's a split version of a 2 hour set (Old Tiesto set) and the one who made the cuesheet, I want to bunch him to the face made this cluterfu\* nastiness there, stating it out it's Tiesto set, Tiesto playing that song or something like that

Once again, thanks a lot, it did the job.
