How to Bulk Import PDFs, and use the file name to populate different fields

I have a large collection of music pdfs, and I was hoping to be able to use the name of each file, to save sorting information.

Here's an example of what I mean. This is the file name of a couple of my PDF files. The format is the same for all my music PDFs.


Alice Cooper - Steven - Keys                               So it's "Artist" - "Title" - "Collection"
David Bowie - Life On Mars - Chords

So I'm hoping the info on the file names can automatically populate these fields

If you have a friend with some basic programming skills with a language like Python or Perl, they could help you generate a CSV file using the file names. It would just be a matter of splitting the file name into the three parts and writing them as comma-separated values into a text file. Are you using Mac or Windows?
