Attempting to export a list of mp3 files located in a directory using window 11 and Mp3Tag 3.33

The resulting list on excel does not match with the configuration in the Tag Panel.

Please review the attached pdf file.

Thank you for getting back to me.

How do you try to export the data?

E.g. you could select the files,

  • Open Edit>Copy as Text ...
  • Set as Format string:
    %title%$char(9)%artist%$char(9)%album%$char(9)%year%$char(9)%track%$char(9)%genre%$char(9)%comment%$char(9)%albumartist%$char(9)%composer%$char(9)%discnumber%$char(9)%_directory%
  • Copy (to clipboard)
  • open excel
  • Paste the clipboard

You can easily add a screenshot to this forum. There is no need to create a PDF first:

Hello
I have attached a screen shot of the files I wish to make a list in Excel.
I am using the Export function on the menu to create an Excel csv file.

Where can I configure a custom model in Mp3tag to create the csv file?

Export files are plain text files, that can be edited by an editor like notepad.
In the export configuration menu you can edit the already existing csv-file file or duplicate it and then make changes to it.

There is no automatism to translate a tag panel or filelist configuration into an export script - you would have to do that.

I am a little disappointed that you apparently did not try my suggestion with the help of the clipboard.

@ohrenkino's suggestion works perfectly fine:

Format string for the OP's "Copy as Text":
%title%$char(9)%artist%$char(9)%album%$char(9)%track%$char(9)%year%$char(9)%_length%$char(9)%_file_size_kb%$char(9)%_file_mod_date%$char(9)%_folderpath%$char(9)%_filename%

In my Excel clone «LibreOffice calc» I have to choose the Tabulator as separator:

That "paste" results in

Thank you for your information.
I would like to try your suggestion using the copy method.
I am not an advanced user and would appreciate more detailed instructions to try your suggestions.

Where could I add more details than already available in this step-by-step procedure?
