If I have this layout in my MP3 files and folders:

"POP MUSIC" (Folder)  
---- "ABC" (Subfolder)  
---- "DEF" (Subfolder)  
---- "GHI" (Subfolder)

Is it possible to use Alt-2 to create an Album tag using the parent folders so that is says "POP MUSIC ABC" or "POP MUSIC DEF", with a space between each?

yes.  
you have to enter ALBUM twice:

%album%\%album%\%dummy%

the first %album% contains POP MUSIC, the second %album% ABC

Yes.

Example ...  
"O:\TEST\T1\The Cure\CD1\101\_Track.mp3"

%PART1%\%ALBUM%\%ALBUM%\%PART4%\%PART5%\%PART6%\_%PART7%

PART1: O:  
ALBUM: TEST T1  
PART4: The Cure  
PART5: CD1  
PART6: 101  
PART7: Track

Thanks very much, didn't think it'd be so simple! 😉
