What do you mean by "names" and "titles"?
Name= filename?
Title = title field?
To clean up your tags use the converter filename - tag (because I assume that this is what you mean by "name")
You have to enter a mask to assign the fields.
For "Kelly Clarkson - My Life Would Suck Without You - wWw.MyEgy.Com by abdelhamid474"
enter:
%artist% - %title% - %dummy%
BTW: this will only work if your filenames really are composed as you have stated in the example.
Concerning your album problem: as many titles appear on various albums (sampler, original, best of, reissue, live to name but a few) it is virtually impossible to determine from which album your particular version comes.
and yes u understand right file=file name and title=title in tags (i want to remove the www.myegy.com by abdelhamid....) part from both filename and title but leave other text like the real file name and the real title and thx
look i could do the file name using batch rename utility now whats left is the title field what i exactly want to do is remove " - wWw.MyEgy.Com by abdelhamid474" with the exact spaces and exact name as between commas please give me exact steps on how to do this and thanks

I think that you can safely use mp3tag's converter tag-filename for this task. no futher tool is required.
Did you have a look at the FAqs? there it is described how to remove part of a string: /t/967/1
Now, if it is always the same string, you can create an action of the type "Replace" for TITLE.
Enter the string that is always the same and should be removed as search string.
Enter nothing (leave blank) for replace string.
If the string varies, though, it is a different story.
=__=" i just want to clean up my music files cause it is so unorganized with unnecessary numbers and letters or album titles or numbers, id just like a clean File name for example, Justin Bieber - Baby
instead of 01 - Justin Bieber - Baby - My World 2.0
Okay, so I have a string at the beginning of my Title field that I'd like to remove. It contains the [] characters though, which I understand are hard coded and need " surrounding them. I'll give an example of what I'd like to do.
Change Title: "[8A] My Babe (Me & My Toothbrush Remix)" to "My Babe (Me & My Toothbrush Remix)"
Obviously these are comments from mixed in key, so they're not all "8A".
I know to go to Quick Actions/Replace then Title. But what do I use for strings or script syntax there?
I would use an action of the type "Replace with regular expression" for TITLE
Search string: \[..\]
Replace string:
(leave empty)
Please note that there is an additional space character behind the last bracket.
