Just started using mp3tag, seems wonderful. My metadata is a mess, and it confuses Roon. So trying to fix it up and make Roon happier. Almost all of my mess is files missing tags. And the tag info is available in the path name. So I've been selecting an album, then typing in the artist and albu…

You could try to start with the Converter Filename -> Tag: [image] Import Tags from File and Folder Names – Mp3tag Documentation Documentation on Filename to Tag, a converter to import tags from file and folder names. Mp3tag is the universal Tag Editor.

Filter %album% MATCHES "" Doesn't seem to show only tracks with no album. Any thoughts on what the filter should look like to do that? Thanks.

Way to "automate" setting the artist and album from the file name?
