Here is what I have done so far I have over 1,500 mp3 files and I want to get the names of the files correct as well as the artists but so far I am having a bit of trouble.

So now I have a csv file with a small list of songs that have been found.

I have the list like this:  
ACR\_ID,Title,Artists,Time,Source\_URL,Detail\_URL

The first file looks like this:  
Random numbers and letters,Even If It Hurts, Sam Tinnesz,2024-09-25 14:49:36,chrome-extension,link  
the second line is the same way. It continues until the 24th line.

Is there a way to take the information from this list and use it for the renaming of the files and adding the artists and such.

I would import that data into the corresponding tag fields and then use Convert\>tag-filename to rename the files.

How do I make a list to add the corresponding info. I have a total of 24 files currently figured out. I have over 1,500 I still need to do.

I have a csv file that I just made by removing extra details I currently only have the Title, Artists, time Stamp. That is all I can skip the time stamp and take the rest of the info but I don't know how to make a file to add to the mp3tag in one go.

How can I use the csv file to change the Title and Artist. I have it all in the correct order I just don't know how to use it to export it into mp3tag.

Have a look at the documentation:

> **[Import Tags from Text Files – Mp3tag Documentation](https://docs.mp3tag.de/converters/import-tags-from-text-files/)**
>
> Documentation on Text File to Tag, a converter to import tags from text files. Mp3tag is the universal Tag Editor.

Gave it a try and figured out a way to use it for my random mixed up music and so far it dose the job. I do want to thank you for the help and pointing me in the correct direction. I will be work on this in batches so this way I don't get anything messed up.

Just a general outline:  
The data file has to comply with the following requirements:  
1 line per record  
1 record per file  
unique separator between the data fields  
number or addressed fields must match number of found data pieces in the data file. If fields should be left out, then use %dummy%.  
Records in the data file are either processed top to bottom of file so that the data from the 1st record is assigned to the 1st file or goes by filename if the filename is part of the record and is addressed as field (and not as %dummy%).
