Can you lend me a hand and share the steps to loading a saved tag? Below is as far as I can get. Right-click on audio file -> Open with -> MP3Tag. Select the file in right pane -> File. ?

[image] Gman: I do not want to copy tag info from one MP3 file to another I don't understand why you're so fixated on laboriously exporting data and then importing it again, when there's a much easier and faster way to transfer tag data directly from one file to another. (See Doug_Mackie's po…

[image] Gman: the steps to loading a saved tag ... Select the file in right pane And now you see the tag data for that file in the tag panel and in the columns of the file list.

No. If the file does not have any tag info, the fields are empty. There seems no way to import data from a saved metatag. It appears that MP3Tag can export tag info but not import. So what purpose is there in exporting the tag?

It is not clear to me what you mean by [image] Gman: import data from a saved metatag MP3tag displays the data that can be found in the tags. If you suspect that data should be there but is not displayed, then please show us a screenshot of the extended tags dialogue Alt-T of a single file …

Sorry for not being clear. Here is what I am trying to do: Open an MP3 file with MP3Tag. Enter tag info. Export the "configuration" in html format.

Thank you for your kind help. I can now copy & paste tag info from one file to another. But I am still unable to import an exported tag. MP3Tag lets me export a tag, such as a *.html file; but if I want to import the saved tag in a new song, there seems no way to import it. What is the point in ex…

[image] Gman: MP3Tag lets me export a tag, such as a *.html file; That HTML is the only format is not correct. MP3tag exports tag data to plain text files. You as the user can create exports that conform with the html standard. You can also create exports for a plain text export or text file…

Forgive me if I fail to understand, but it has become apparent to me that MP3Tag simply does not support import of an exported tag. I do not want to copy tag info from one MP3 file to another: In Audacity, I export (save) tag info as an XML file; then, whenever I mix down a new version of a song and…
