How do you want it sorted? I used my own sort method (artist, album by year, disc, track) in the example below:
```
$filename(%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\MP3 Archive.txt,utf-8)
$loop($if2(%artistsort%,%artist%)%year%$if2(%albumsort%,%album%)%discnumber%%track%)
%year% - %artist% - %title% (%year%) %genre%
$loopend()
```

Lets say I have lyrics i want to export to a text file with the same name as the audio file (because i'm converting to another format and don't want to lose my lyrics.) How would i go about doing this?

For one file only you can use this export script ...
(one text line)**$filename(%\_folderpath%%\_filename%'.USLT.txt',UTF-8)$if(%UNSYNCEDLYRICS%,$regexp($regexp(%UNSYNCEDLYRICS%,'\A...\|.\*\|(.+)\Z','$1'),'\A[\r\n\t]\*|[\r\n\t]\*\Z',),)**
The following thread leads to proposals from users, Dano and DetlevD, how to export unsyncedlyrics text for a bunch of files at once ...

Hello, I read the forum and I'm not above ais is if my problem applies. But here I would like to export my lyrics in a .txt file but with a different file for each selected track. Here is my command line but unfortunately it allows me export lyrics of each track in one .txt file :
$filename(txt,utf-8)$loop(%\_path%)%unsyncedlyrics%$loopend()
Would you have a line of a different command to use .txt file separate ? Thank you for your reply.
