How can I copy classical music MP3 files that always start w/the composer name located in a Win7 directory on my PC to iTunes and have them just show up as they were arranged in alpha originally (I guess by Song?). I don't want iTunes to separate the file into albums, genre, etc...I just want to see the files alphabetically so I can play them on my iPod Classic.
I need to have the complete file name showing up in iTunes not divided into albom, artist, genre, etc. Just want the alpha order by the complete file name.
Which of your scripts should I run and what changes would I have to make to it?. Where do I run it and against what file(s)?
I'll need to write a new one as there is nothing that does what you want as yet. I don't have time tonight but I should be able to get to it tomorrow.

SUPER! Thanks so much. I'd also like to know how and where to run it.
The script can be downloaded here: DetailFromPath. (The name of the script in the left-hand column is the download link.)
i don't have time now to make screenshots of this particular script in action but see this post for a usage guide to a different one. The principles are the same.
As ever test a few tracks first to confirm the behaviour is as desired/expected. If so you can run it on a bigger batch of files. As written it makes no attempt to preserve existing non-blank values in those three fields, but that might be an optional tweak I can add to the next version.
