Hi, I am an newbie and today am hoping someone can help me .... I have been able to create a single csv file formatted exactly as i want for a few thousand tracks. however what i would like is to create seperate file for each track ? here is a sample from the large file Filename;Title;Artist;Album;Track;Year;Length;Comment 0001.mp3;These Are Days;10,000 Maniacs;MTV Unplugged;01/14;1993;04:54;; 0002.mp3;Eat For Two;10,000 Maniacs;MTV Unplugged;02/14;1993;04:23;; 0003.mp3;Candy Everybody Wants;10,000 Maniacs;MTV Unplugged;03/14;1993;03:20;; what i would like is to have a single file named xxx.txt for each line ? rather than a single large file do you think this is possible using the export facility ?

You could use the export function to create a batch file that writes each line to a separate file like `echo 0001.mp3;These Are Days;10,000 Maniacs;MTV Unplugged;01/14;1993;04:54;; >xxx.txt` You may want to modify the "xxx.txt" with a variable. A next step would be to execute the batch file which then creates the individual files. I assume that the xxx.txt would have to be appended with an absolute path component to avoid that the file xxx.txt gets overwritten each time. ---

you would have to replace the > [@ohrenkino](#): > > > xxx.txt part with the matching filename - so probably you have to copy the "0001" part from > [@ohrenkino](#): > > 0001.mp3 so that the refrenced filename in > [@ohrenkino](#): > > `echo 0001.mp3;These Are Days;10,000 Maniacs;MTV Unplugged;01/14;1993;04:54;; >xxx.txt` becomes `echo 0001.mp3;These Are Days;10,000 Maniacs;MTV Unplugged;01/14;1993;04:54;; >0001.txt` and that has to happen in every line for the resulting text file name. As the export function deals with files that already have tags I fear that your existing file either has to be imported into the tags before you use the export function or not a lot can be done with the export from MP3tag. You would have to create a suitable .bat file from the source from which you got the csv-data. ---

> [@davidisom](#): > > what i am after is a file for each mp3 track that contains the tags I need You could post-process your export-file with the help of an external program. Have a look at [https://www.gdgsoft.com/gsplit/](https://www.gdgsoft.com/gsplit/). One of it's many features is to split files after a certain pattern. In your case this pattern would be `0x0D0x0A` which stands for CRLF, that occurs in your file at the end of each line. ---

Hi,I used the export facility as you suggested to create a line per track adding the echo command along with appropriate fields and free from text. The has produced the text files just as I required. ---
