track title from filename?

hi, i know how to turn make the filenames of my music file the same as the title of the music file.
BUT, how can i take the filename, and make the title for the music files equal to the filenames?

so i can do
tag->filename
but in this case, i want to do
filename->tag.
(i tried going into properties and making the title %filename%, but this just actually made it '%filename%'...)
is it possible?
thanks.

I am aware this is quite old a thread. Is there a way to take just a portion of the file names? This would be useful for example in order to prevent the track number included in the filename to become part of the track titles.
Thanks anyone

If it was consistently 01. blah.mp3, you could write

Code: [Select]

%%. %title%
