For a start you could apply the converter Filename - Tag and import also the title tag. Use a mask like
%artist% - %title%
if your file names correspond to the one you gave as an example.
For the further proceedings I have nothing to offer but blood, sweat and tears.
Even for the example track you gave there are at least 3 albums by that artist on which that track can be found. Not to count the various samplers and compilations.
For a start you simply copy all titles into the album tag as if you had nothing but singles ... For those that are not singles ... guess?
