Hello all. I'm having a problem with Convert \> Filename - Tag.

I'm using `D:\MP3\%artistname%\%albumname%\%trackname%` and the preview appears to work as I get a long list of appropriate tags that I want to use. For example...

"D:\MP3\Lynyrd Skynyrd\Gimme Back My Bullets\Cry for the Bad Man.mp3" -\>  
artistname: Lynyrd Skynyrd  
albumname: Gimme Back My Bullets  
trackname: Cry for the Bad Man

Now when I click ok, it goes through the selected tracks saying "Tag derived for 8 of 8 files", but it doesn't actually change the tags. Am I missing something somewhere?

Ok figured it out, I was using a syntax I had found in another forum post that was wrong. Changed it to work, so now it's `D:\MP3\%artist%\%album%\%title%` and working just fine!

It might have been worthwhile to consult the help and its list of supported fields and their internal names:

> **[Tag Field Mappings – Mp3tag Documentation](https://docs.mp3tag.de/mapping/)**
>
> Overview of all available tag fields, their names in Mp3tag, and how they are mapped to the internal structures of the different tag formats. Mp3tag is the universal Tag Editor.

Also, you will find now user-defined fields in the files that you already treated with the user-defined names that you used. Open the extended tags dialogue (Alt-T) for that.
