So here is what I'm trying to do. I have the file names set for a Anime called Air Gear which was release in 2006. I use a free renamer program to get the episode titles correct. So they look like this:  
Air Gear (2006) - 01x01 - The Invincible Baby Face.mp4 but I want to take the "The Invincible Baby Face" and also place it inside the "Title" area. Is this possible with Mp3Tag. I have already used Mp3Tag to change the Cover Art for these (25) Episodes as well as changed the "Genre" but now I would like to be able to change the "Title" as well.

This is the structure is the folder\> Main folder is called Anime\> Air Gear (D) I plan to change it to Air Gear (2006) (D) the (D) is for Dubbed I also use (S) for Subbed. But for now I just want to know if there is a easy way to copy the "Episode "Title" from the file name area".

So basically I will be coping the text after the space from -. So ti would be - copy the text. Is this possible with Mp3Tag and Convert. Or would I need to use a different program to remove the "Title" area first.

I know I can go to Notepad++ and copy the entire list for episodes and paste it into notepad++ and then just remove all the "Air Gear (2006) - 01x01 - and keep everything after the - for the "Titles". But that would be a bit time consuming. Is there a way to do this on Mp3Tag from the file name. Will working with mp4 files and not mp3 files.

You can use the Converter Filename-Tag to set `TITLE` using this string:  
`%dummy% - %dummy% - %title%`

This assumes all of your titles use the same structure including two separators of space-dash-space before the expected title. You can verify the expected results in the preview when using this function.

This will work perfectly. Thank You for the help with this I was not sure how to do this on my own. And yes the show title and then the season number and - and then episode number and then - and then episode title. So this will work for my "Anime" and "TV Show" episodes as well. But not for movies but movies I'm not worried about. I will be organizing the movies differently.
