I have songs with no tag and names e.g.

01 Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody 1975.mp3

I try: %track% %artist% - %title% %year%

but year is "Rhapsody 1975"

how to get year at the end to %year% ?

You can't, unless you insert another delimiter by using a RegEx replace action.

Action #1:  
_Action type:_ **Replace with regular expression**  
_Field:_ **\_FILENAME**  
_Regular expression:_ **(\d{4}.mp3)$**  
_Replace matches with:_ **- $1**

[] case-sensitive comparison

(added file extension)
