Rename Album After Folder

Support
1

I see a lot of threads on how to rename a folder after the tags. I want to go the opposite route.

My folders are all named properly - it's the "Album" tag that's all facacte.

It's a few hundred files in a few dozen folders - and I'd like each of the files to pick up its individual Folder Name as its Album tag.

Importing data from the folder structure is described in the FAQs:

Thanks for the reference, but that makes absolutely zero sense to me.

The Filename is already the same as the Title tag.

I want the Album tag to be the same as the Folder (i.e., subdirectory) name.

In Mp3Tag, I am selecting the uppermost folder in the "Directory" field - so all of my files show in the window.

And when I go to "Convert>Filename-Tag" (NOT "ConvertER"), it wants to rename the Title, not the Album.

I quote from the linked FAQ topic:
" Of course, sometimes it's also needed to omit some information that should not imported to the tag. This can be done using the %dummy% placeholder for the unneeded part of the file path."

The path probably looks like
folder\filename
the folder is to become the ALBUM,
so it is
%album%\filename
and as you do not need the filename, you can omit it, which can be done, as the HowTo tells you, by using %dummy%:
%album%\%dummy%

Thank you. Maybe I'm the dummy (spoiler: I'm not), but I never would have derived those instructions from the HowTo.

Your specific instructions did the trick. Thank you.
