Let's say you have a folder with songs which have no ID Tags whatsoever.
For a folder named C:\ALBUM containing files:
01 Song 1
02 Song 2
03 Song 3
How do you automatically assign ID tags so that, for example,
file 02 Song 2 would be assigned a TITLE tag:
Song 2
In other words, without the 02 preceding it?
I know that Mp3tag ALT+2 feature can auto assign the full file name as a Title tag.

Bingo, solved using this freeware: http://www.mp3tag.de/en/download.html
Load the folder containing all subfolders/files.
To assign a TITLE tag Song 2 to a file called 02 Song 2.mp3
1. Load the folder containing all subfolders/files.
2. Assign file name to ID TITLE TAG (For example 02 Song 2.mp3 file would have a TITLE TAG 02 Song 2):
CTRL+A > ALT+2 > drop down arrow > Title > Enter > OK > OK
3. Then Remove (for the example of file name 02 Song.mp3) three starting characters:
CTRL+A > Actions > Actions (Quick) > Replace with regular expression > OK
Field: Title
In Regular expression enter ^.{3} if you want to remove 3 chars.
Replace matches with stays empty.
OK > OK
[You should use 3 characters because in 02 Song 2 you are removing 02 plus one space.]
Hold SHIFT to select everything in between the first and last file of your choice.
Hold CTRL to select a beginning of a new set of files.
Hold both SHIFT and CTRL together to select the end of a new set of files (so that a previous first set of files still stays selected).
