See [Rename Files and Import Tags from Files](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/rename-files-and-import-tags-from-files/51720) from the Mac Documentation. The relevant bit there is that macOS uses the forward slash as folder separator and Mp3tag for Mac follows this approach.

If your file path is  
`Fela Kuti/(1969) Fela Fela Fela/01 My Lady Frustration.mp3`

a correct format string is  
`%artist%/(%year%) %album%/%track% %title%`
