Uh, this hasn't been implemented yet. But I think it should be doable
as a keyboard macro. Add song to the playlist, enable emms-mark-mode,
select the tracks you want to tag with `m' and hit `E' to enter the tag
editor. If the files are named uniformly and the separator ("-")
doesn't occur in titles or other fields, you should be able to use
isearch and kill-ring-save (M-w) to copy and past the relevant parts of
the file name to the appropriate fields.

Hah, this feature exists!

| Renaming Files
| ==============
|
| The tag editor is also capable to rename the file of the track at point
| or all files of the marked tracks according to the value this variable.
|
| -- User Option: emms-tag-editor-rename-format
| When `emms-tag-editor-rename' is invoked the track's file will be
| renamed according this format specification. The file extension
| will be added automatically.
|
| It uses the format specs defined in `emms-tag-editor-tags'.
|
| The default value is "%a - %l - %n - %t", so that files are named
|
| <Artist> - <Album> - <Tracknumber> - <Title>.<extension>
|
| after renaming.
|
| To perform the renaming put point on the track you want to rename or
| mark some tracks. Then hit `R' which calls this function:
|
| -- Function: emms-tag-editor-rename
| Rename the file corresponding to track at point or all marked
| tracks according to the value of `emms-tag-editor-rename-format'.
