Tag From Artist and Song Name

Post by Moviesbc »

So what I'm trying to do I've done thousands of times before but it's been a couple of years since I've used MM (updated to the latest vsrsion).

All I want to do is tag my mp3's to mimic the exact artist and name from a song. For the criteria I've selected just Artist and Title. Essentially all I'm trying to do is have the Artist and Title look the same under File Name.

I've taken a screen shot but I'm not sure how to attach it on here from my mobile.

Not totally sure which direction you are trying to go.

If your filenames are correct, then you can use "autotag from filename". Select a few tracks, and test the results if you are at all uncertain.

If your tags are correct, and the filenames are random, then you need to use "autoorganize" and set up a mask which names your files as you would like them names according to the info in the tags.

As above, test a few at a time first....

The name of my tracks, originally, are all over the place so I use MMW and change the artists' name and title of the songs. Now when I try to 'Auto Organize' to have the filename match what I just manually edited (ie. Artist name(s) and Title) nothing changes.

As far as the masks I've selected a few including Artist and Title and nothing changes. What am I doing wrong?
