> How to import parts of the filename into the tag? Importing tags from filenames and directory names can be done by using the [Converter \> Filename - Tag] Converter \> Filename - Tag. The basic concept is the notion of a format string which describes the structure of the name to import from. The format string is built of either standard text (e.g., Music), placeholders (such as %artist%, %title%, ...), or backslash characters \ that denote directory structures.

It is also rather hard to understand what you intend to do.
So: what have you tried so far?
Where did you get stuck?
What in the description of the HowTo and FAQs could not be applied to solve your problem?

I think the examples also mentioned how to access the folder part of a filename.
And if you do not want to add the information from the (partially qualified) filename to %TITLE%, then replace the field variable names with the ones that you want to use, e.g. %artist% and %album%

Which function do you want to use?
I would recommend Convert\>Filename-Tag.
If you have a filename like
`artist\album\title`
then use a mask
`%artist%\%album%\%dummy%`
For a more detailed help please show us a real life filename and path
