The above can be converted by MP3Tag into individual tag values although the filename is not the ideal format.

Check the following guidelines

1 - Install/Run MP3 Tag

2 - File -> Add directory

3 - Edit -> Select all files

4 - Convert -> Filename to Tag

5 - Amend format string appropriately. A preview of the tag values is displayed.

However, your current filename structure lacks a separator character between Album and Track number.
You will need a different format dependent on the track number value.

If your track numbers consist of a leading zero try the following format (i.e. the leading zero is the separator):

Code:

%genre%\%artist% - %album% 0%track% %title%

6 - Select OK to add tags to files

7 - For tracks 10 and above its more time consuming (i.e. the track number is the separator):

Convert -> Filename to Tag

Code:

%genre%\%artist% - %album% 10%track% %title%

Select OK (nb - this results in a track number tag value of 0)

View -> Sort by -> Track

Select the files with Track 0

Convert -> Tag to Tag

Select Field name 'TRACK' and set format value to '10'

Select OK

9 - Repeat as necessary
