Favour Please

Hi,
Could somebody please try the following and let me know how you do it.

I want to be able to tag MP3's from the filename and destination. The problem is, when there is an album with 2 cd's. So for example: I want to tag the following file in the following path.

Desktop/Music/Albums/Leonard Cohen/The Essential/CD1/01 - Suzanne

So I want the tag to be:
Artist: Leonard Cohen
Album: The Essential
Disc: CD1
Track No.: 01
Title: 01 - Suzanne

I also want to be able to rename the following file in the following path, the same way (Please note this has no sub-folder for disc number)

Desktop/Music/Albums/Leonard Cohen/Songs of Hate and Love/01 - Avalanche

So I want the tag to be:
Artist: Leonard Cohen
Album: Songs of Hate and Love
Disc: NA (Disc tag will not be written as there is no sub disc)
Track No.:01
Title: 01 - Avalanche


Is there any programme that can do all my files in different folders this way in the one go or will I have to either do them individually or will I have to change it to:
Desktop/Music/Albums/Leonard Cohen/The Essential (CD1)/01 - Suzanne
Please note that I removed the Disc subfolder and have had to create 2 album folders, one called "The Essential (CD1)" and the other, "The Essential (CD2)"

I have tried 3 programmes so far, and they either can't do it, or I don't know how to make them do it :rolleyes:

Any help appreciated!!!
Thanks

No I didn't, I don't really fancy downloading every mp3 tag software out there, I've downloaded 3 popular ones and none of them seem to be able to do it, so I'm hoping somebody here knows how to do it, or knows software that will do it
thanks though!

Getting tag information from paths/filenames is far too unreliable for any tagging program I've used, to try implement it.

Surely you can't have so many double-albums for this to be a huge problem.

Then again, I'm one of those weirdos who actually enjoys manually organising his collection, structure-wise. I use Tag and Rename for the more tedious task of tagging and track renaming so I end up with:

Music\Artist\Year - Album\Track # - Track Title

I use the Multi-File-Editor option in T&R to fill in any blank fields.

Works for me.
