Have look at the documenation about first steps:
> **[First Steps – Mp3tag Documentation](https://docs.mp3tag.de/getting-started/first-steps/)**
>
> A collection of tasks with step-by-step instructions intended for novice users of Mp3tag. Mp3tag is the universal Tag Editor.
and alos, perhaps a little more advanced:
> **[Tag Sources – Mp3tag Documentation](https://docs.mp3tag.de/tag-sources/)**
>
> Tag Sources. Mp3tag is the universal Tag Editor.

In addition to ohrenkino's advice:
If your "group of file" is not an album, it is difficult to "Auto tag" them.
Most [Websource scripts](https://community.mp3tag.de/c/development/web-sources-scripts/12) are designed to search for an entire album and tag all its tracks.
If you have a loose collection of tracks - for example the newest Top 40 Hits - it's almost impossible to "Auto tag" them automatically and without user intervention.
You always need to find an external source that matches your local files exactly.
Then you need a Websource script for this source.
Then - and only then - you can start "Auto tag" your local files.
Let us know what you were unable to figure out after reading the linked documentation.
