Yes.  
ONly make sure that the source files and the target files are the same in order and number,  
select all the source files in 1 go,  
use Edit\>Copy tags,  
select all the target files in 1 go,  
use Edit\>Paste tags  
and the tag data from the source files will be copied to the target files.

A solution for .cue-files could start with this thread:

> $filename(%album%.cue,utf-8)PERFORMER "$iflonger(%albumartist%,0,%albumartist%,%artist%)" TITLE "%album%" $loop(%\_filename\_rel%)FILE "%\_filename\_rel%" $if($eql($upper(%\_extension%),MP3),MP3,WAVE) TRACK $right(0%track%,2) AUDIO TITLE "%title%" PERFORMER "$iflonger(%artist%,0,%artist%,%albumartist%)" INDEX 01 00:00:00 $loopend() I have not found any ready to use solution for this specific task, so I wrote one myself. Enjoy. If you can offer any alterations - please do.
