It's kind of combursome to create custom-formatted output, but you can with
something like this:

File Extension        mp3
Command Line          %@mp3info -r m -p "\1h\1y%%a \1w%%t \1m%%l %%y" %f > %g%s

"mp3info" really needs to be added to your SCFG->External Programs->Native
Program List.

And you may need to put %f in double-quotes ("%f") if you want to support
filenames with spaces in them (ugh).
