Can't seem to find the anwer to this in the FAQ  
Have a file name of  
Van Morrison - Magic Time - 01 - Stranded.mp3  
but no information in the tags fields

Want to populate the following tag fields  
Title: 01 - Stranded  
Artist: Van Morrison  
Album: Magic Time

How do I go about doing this?  
Also can this be done by selecting every song (mp3 file) at the same time?

Thanks in advance- Zuma

Have you read [Convert Tag-information from and to filenames](https://docs.mp3tag.de/converters) in the help file?
