It's easier to do than to describe how it's done...
Use the "Convert Names to Tags" tool.
Drag the folder onto the part of the window that says.
One way that it can rename files is via folder-hierarchy from the path to the file. You probably don't want that, so change the folder-popups so they all say "skip."
Then go to the regular expressions part of the window.
Let's suppose that an example file was named "THELADYISATRAMP_HenryKing_DECCA_1404A.mp3" ... and let's further suppose that you want to pull the title and artist info from it.
I'll give you the search:
Then change the "replace expression" field to reflect that you want to use the first and second strings pulled from the search to title and artist, respectively. That looks like this:
Make a copy of a few files into a new folder and try it.
