Hi, it is possible to output a html document or playlist m3u that contains the following parameters?
total duration of the album
total volume(size) of the album
or output a playlist whose playlist name includes the total duration of the tracks and the total volume of the album?

Did you check the help on Export and the list of variables?
[https://docs.mp3tag.de/export](https://docs.mp3tag.de/export)
The list of variabels include
**Global placeholders** (providing totals for the preceeding $loop/$loopend)
`%_total_files%` Total number of files
`%_total_size%` Total file size (formatted output)
`%_total_size_raw%` Total file size in bytes
`%_total_time%` Total playing time (formatted output)
`%_total_time2%` Total playing time (formatted output without days)
`%_total_time_raw%` Total playing time in seconds

Yes, I read this section but I did not fully understand. In the **first scenario** I want to **export** these features from a folder of the music album in the form of html document, how can I do that? Is there a way to do this?
**These features are considered:**
- Total number of tracks
- Full size of album tracks
- Total duration of total tracks on an album
- Name of artist or artists (if there are several artists in the album)
- Year of publication
- Album name
The **second senario** is that I want to create a playlist from each album folder that in the **name of this playlist** file, the volume of the album folder and the total duration of all tracks are also exported, but when from %\_total\_size% and %\_total\_time% I use, these two items are not exported, where is the problem?
%artist% - %album% - **%\_total\_time%** - **%\_total\_size%**.m3u
Thank you for your help

So, how proficient are you in reading and writing HTML code?
On shipment, a sample export script with HTML code is included.
You would have to adapt the sample code to your needs - it's a plain text file that can be edited with Editor.
Also, you can insert the missing variables into that script.
In repect to your second scenario: I doubt that the totals have already been counted when you create the filename with the function to create playlists..
A way out could be to first write an export script that contains batch file commands and the first command would be to create the filename. You would have to $loop() through the list of files silently (no output), then export the filenames.
A sample for a file that creates playlists with a batch file see here:
