Q: Keeping MP3 files in alpha order

No problem.

How would I run a script and where?

You can find my existing collection of scripts at http://samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/scripts.asp - general method of operation is to select some files in iTunes, then double click on the downloaded copy of a script to run it, and follow the prompts from there.

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.

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.

You're welcome.
