How can I generate tag from filename?

Have you audio files with normal filename and empty tags?

For example, the full filename (with path) is "C:\My Music\Dire Straits\1978\01 - Down To The Waterline.mp3" but some tags is empty (see Figure 1). You can add information to tags manually using copy-paste but more correctly and easier to use the Tag Generator feature from Mp3 Tag Assistant Professional.
