Yes, provided you have a pattern. Enter %dummy% for the parts of the pattern that you do not want to import. E.g. 01 - Yellow Submarine and you want to leave out the "01" then enter %dummy% - %title% ---

Without showing us the EXACT filename, it is not possible to help you. The format string has to match the pattern that can be found in the filename. If there is no match, then the OK button is disabled. ---
