The Export currently exists in a slightly different way and only as hidden feature 🧐

If you select files in Mp3tag for Mac and copy via Cmd+C, a textual representation of the files is copied to the clipboard.

You can modify the format of this textual representation using a [formatstring](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/format-strings-and-available-placeholders/51688) and the `defaults` command via Terminal.app

```plaintext
defaults write app.mp3tag.Mp3tag CopyFormat '"%album%$char(9)%track%$char(9)%title%$char(9)%artist%$char(9)%_length%$char(9)%discnumber%"'

```

It's a little bit nerdy, but should get the job done. Ah yes, and you can always go back to the default behavior via

```plaintext
defaults delete app.mp3tag.Mp3tag CopyFormat

```
