Use the function Convert\>Filename-Tag  
Format string: - %artist% - %title%

This will work for some of the tracks - there is no common pattern in the filenames so you have to see which ones belong together in respect to data, fields and separators.  
The adapt the pattern in the Convert function so that it fits for those where you could not yet retrieve the information.
