Hello there.
First of all i will thank you for this great mp3-tagging tool. I use it since 1,5 years. Its the best i've ever had.
Now i have got an improvement for tagging.
Are you able to add support for tagging from folder-names, Inluding subdirs?
My folders on disk: [(Interpret) - |Albumname| - mp3-file]
"Write Interpret-Information of the Folder into the mp3's ID3-Tag v1 and v2" and Write Album-Information of the Folder into the mp3's ID3-Tag v1 and v2".
It would make it much easier to tag the mp3s, because you only have to read the information from the foldernames.
I hope you understood my "Englisch"
Thanks for your Response.
Greatz Peter

This is already supported.
If you for example have a folder named:
c:\mp3\some artist\some album\01 - some title.mp3
You can extract the data with the following template in the "Auto tag" tool:
---------------------CODE SAMPLE-------------------
<Artist><\><Album><\><TrackNr> - <Title>.mp3
---------------------CODE SAMPLE-------------------
You don't even need the advanced mode, simply use the "Add dir" button to add the <\> fields in the template.
