    Renaming ID3 Tags after Converter removed them

    I used DBpowerAMP converter to go from MP3 to WMA after I created a subdirectory structure in DBpoweramp that looks like this...

    Artist\Album\songname.mp3

    The conversion was done by searching for MP3 then selecting all the files and right clicking to convert leaving the files in their original location. The conversion process wiped out all of my tag info so now I'm building the ID3 infor for artist, album, and title from the location of the file and the filename itself.

    So I've easily renamed the Title by grabbing the songname from the filename. I'm trying now to import the Artist and Album names from the subdirectory structure. Does anyone know if DB can help me get this done?

    BTW: it's about 5,000 songs.

    There is a Codec at the bottom of Codec Central 'Tag From Filename'

      BTW the tags shouldn't have been wiped out - was 'Preserve Tags' checked?

        Yes the tab was checked to save id info.
        Rule #1: Nothing gets done without that box being checked on.
