You could still use the way I described before by temporarily storing the 
filename into e.g. the Comment field, using the Fill Tag function and a 
mask of "%c", and then restore the filenames from that field.

Alternatively, if your filenames are all exactly like you stated, use the 
Fill Tag function with the following mask:

"Live concert %i (Recorded by %i) - %t"

This will give you Title fields like "Episode 037".

Next use the Process Fields function, put "Episode" and "Broadcast 
Episode" in the Convert fields (this is like a rename function), and run 
it. (Be careful to deactivate other options before running.)

As you see, there is no direct one-step way, but with a little creativity 
you can solve almost all naming tasks.
