I don't have any of my files tagged because I keep them in Artist/Album directories. Is it possible to have the program tag my files based on this?

Yes, it is. Use Convert \> Filename - Tag  
[https://docs.mp3tag.de/converters/import-tags-from-filenames](https://docs.mp3tag.de/converters/import-tags-from-filenames)  
Example string: %artist%\%album%\%dummy%
