I have a list in Excel (CSV) Top 2000 year 1999.  
Is it possible to compare the filename in an directory with the list and if the entries exists fill the tags? And if yes how?

Love to read suggestions.

Yes, you you can use `%_filename_ext%` or `%_path%` to perform matching based on the file name or the abolute file path respectively.  
As found in the mentioned [documentation](https://docs.mp3tag.de/converters/import-tags-from-text-files/#matching-files-from-the-text-file-to-mp3tags-file-list).
