Is there a way of exporting the Tag - Filename list I have created in MP3TAG. Unfortunately this year my computer has been upset by Microsoft updating my system for me twice and I have had to reset the operating system and lost some of my MP3TAG data.

If you want to get your old strings for Convert>Tag-FIlename back, then you have to look for the old mp3tag.cfg file and overwrite with it the new mp3tag.cfg file. But I would not do that now any more as you have not got an action.

Thanks. That worked. Didn't understand your last paragraph though :thinking:

Okay I will heed your advice. Thanks for your help with this
