You can get the info from freedb via Mp3tag too, where you can specify a formatstring which splits artist/title combination to the right tag fields.

Otherwise you have to use some replace with regular expression actions. You can find a description of this feature in Mp3tag's help file or the [FAQ](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/967/1).

Can't reproduce it here. I think you only have to remove the double ampersand and save the tag.
