thanks for the reply. I found what I was looking for with the check box, "Read Metadata from file name"
However I did find it rather tedious retrieving metadata using the default settings. Time and time again I was either A,rearranging the title and author or removing one or the other. Or B, actually pulling the isbn off Amazon.
And the titles and just about everything else was a mess. Again was using the default settings.
