i have to make a program searching for specific word in title, or in artist name.  
Like selecting all file having NOUG in artist name, or AMOUR in title....  
My question : is there a way from 1 filename list (produced by dir) to Call Mp3Tag with some params like  
Call Mp3Tag "NOUG" in artist, artist, filename, title, location  
or  
Call Mp3Tag "amour" in title, artist, filename, title, location  
to be able to select thru any criteria, and make a list.

Thanks in advance  
Jacques

There are only two Command Line parameters to start Mp3tag:  
`/fp`  
as in `Mp3tag.exe /fp:"<full-qualified path to directory>"`  
or  
`/fn`  
as in `Mp3tag.exe /fn:"<full-qualified file name>"`

There is currently no way to search or filter for specific content from command line.

But you can start Mp3tag, load all your tracks and then press `<F3>` to filter for your content:
