I am so thankful for the help i received here [Export audiobooks](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/export-audiobooks/63608)
I use this often, i was finally able to transfer it over to mac
like this
```plaintext
%title%
By: %ALBUMARTIST%
Narrated by: %COMPOSER%
Length: %_length%
Release date: %RELEASETIME%
Publisher: %publisher%
#%itunesmediatype%
```
the problem is i use this to label my audiobooks in my saved messages in telegram (i use it like a cloud) so when i copy it will paste the m4b in telegram instead of the words
is paste/copy it in a notebook the only way to get around this?

You can paste the textual representation from the copy command ⌘C in a text editor, copy the pasted text again from there, and paste this text-only clipboard to the Telegram app.
This way, the clipboard only contains text and no file references.
There is also Export via ⌘E, which exports to a text file from which you could copy the text.

There are many places in Alfred's preferences to assign and configure keyboard shortcuts. You'd need to look by yourself.
Until then, there is also **File → Export...**

it lost the formatting
`Philip Paris, Samara MacLaren, Steven Cree;Philip Paris;The Last Witch of Scotland;2023;The Last Witch of Scotland;`
if i ⌘C into the notebook and then copy/paste
```auto

The export uses its own format string which you need to adapt. It's different from the copy command.
