hello, im looking to add comments to multiple flies at once. im currently tagging my large library of podcasts but am finding it tedious because when i try tag my files with comments it results in jumbled text.

i input this:

Line :1

Line :2

Line :3

Line :4

Line :5

but mp3tag gives me this:

Line :1

i can import most data using the "Text file - Tag" function but the comments never work because of the line breaks. most of my podcasts have comments that span a few paragraphs. i would appreciate any and all help. thanks in advance!

You have to replace the linebreaks with a printable character so that the data becomes one per record. I found that the # is a fairly good character for replacement.  
The data may then look like Line:1#Line: 2#Line: 3

After you have imported the data, do an action of the type "Format value" for COMMENT  
Format string: $replace(%comment%,#,$char(13)$char(10))
