FromFilename Plugin
===================

The ``fromfilename`` plugin helps to tag albums that are missing tags altogether
but where the filenames contain useful information like the artist and title.

When you attempt to import a track that's missing a title, this plugin will look
at the track's filename and guess its track number, title, and artist. These
will be used to search in MusicBrainz and match track ordering.

To use the ``fromfilename`` plugin, enable it in your configuration (see
:ref:`using-plugins`).
