Hi,
I have a large HD with this folder structure:
```
\Nektar
\Nektar\1970-12 Seeheim
\Nektar\1970-11-11 Darmstadt
\Omega
\Omega\1977, Hungary
\Omega\1982, Budapest
```
Etc... The \ARTIST folders do not contain sound files.
My goal is to have a list per artist. When I export one file per folder to, for example, list\_%artist%.txt, the second album overwrites the previous one.
Of course I can export to something like list\_%artist%\_%album% and stick the files together, but I was wondering if it is possible within mp3tag.
Thanks,
Jerry

Ah silly me - I completely missed the Append To File option on the Export dialog. With the filename being list\_%artist%.txt, I can export per artist.
Only thing is that while I was hoping for a format like this:
```
Nektar
1970-12 Seeheim
1970-11-11 Darmstadt
```
I get this:
```
Nektar
1970-12 Seeheim
Nektar
1970-11-11 Darmstadt
```
Ah well, I'll think of something... 😉
