Hi everyone
I absolutely love MP3tag. I am trying to do something in which I believe to be completely easy, but I'm not quite sure how to do.
I have a MP3 collection in a folder called "HITS" and under that folder is the volume number.
To visualize:
E:\HITS
E:\HITS\01
E:\HITS\02
so on and so forth.
I would like to tag the album field using "HITS" and it's relative folder name, such as "HITS 01"
Your help is appreciated. Thanks!

Try menu "Convert \> filename - tag" with format string
%album%\%album%\%dummy%

Thanks dano.
