I have a directory called:

/1995.02.06 - Hatfield - Forum/track1.mp3

I want the mp3 tagged with "1995.02.06 - Hatfield - Forum" as being the name of the ALBUMTITLE.

How can i do this??

You can use the converter Filename - Tag with a format string

%ALBUMTITLE%\\%dummy%

Kind regards,

Thanks sofar, what do i have to put in the "dummy" part. When i tried this string, the ALBUM stays the same.

You only talked about ALBUMTITLE. Maybe you want to use

%ALBUM%\\%dummy%

%dummy% just ignores the text at the given position which is track1.mp3 in your example.
