I was wondering if there was a way to export an rtf to make your albums look like this:
Korn
Follow the Leader
1. It's On!
2. Freak on a Leash
3. Got the Life
...etc.
Korn
Issues
4. Dead
5. Falling Away from Me
6. Trash
...etc.
If anybody knows how to do this it would be helpfull. Thanks.

Hi,
I didn't know much about rtf but I converted the old rft export-file to your wishes. Just try it with a new template with this content:
```
$filename("info.rtf"){\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang1033{\fonttbl{\f0\fswiss\fprq2\fcharset0 Tahoma;}}
\viewkind4\uc1\pard\b\f0\fs32 File Overview\par
\b0\fs20 %_total_files% Tracks · $div(div("%_total_time_raw%", "%_total_files%"),60):$num(sub(div("%_total_time_raw%", "%_total_files%"),mul(div(div("%_total_time_raw%", "%_total_files%"),60),60)),2) · %_total_time2% · $fmtNum("%_total_size_raw%") Byte\par
$loop("%artist%")$loop("%album%")\sb227 \b %artist%\b0\par
\pard\b %album%\b0\par
$loop(_filename_ext)$num("%track%", 2). %title%\par
$loopend()
$loopend()
$loopend()
}
```
If you want to change the layout look at the official rtf-documentation:
[http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default....tml/rtfspec.asp](http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnrtfspec/html/rtfspec.asp)
Just try it and ask here if you have further questions.

Thanks for your input, but I couldn't seem to get that to work properly. Is this what's it's supposed to look like?:
[EXPORTHEADER]
HEADERLINE01={\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang1033{\fonttbl{\f0\fswiss\fpr
q2\fcharset0 Tahoma;}}
HEADERLINE02=\viewkind4\uc1\pard\b\f0\fs32 Mp3tag File Overview\par
HEADERLINE03=\b0\fs20 %\_date%\par
HEADERLINE04=\par
[EXPORTRECORD]
RECORDLINE01=\b0\fs20 %\_total\_files% Tracks - $div(div("%\_total\_time\_raw%",
"%\_total\_files%"),60):$num(sub(div("%\_total\_time\_raw%",
"%\_total\_files%"),mul(div(div("%\_total\_time\_raw%",
"%\_total\_files%"),60),60)),2) - %\_total\_time2% - $fmtNum("%\_total\_size\_raw%")
Byte\par
RECORDLINE02=$loop("%artist%")$loop("%album%")\sb227 \b %artist%\b0\par
RECORDLINE03=\pard\b %album%\b0\par
RECORDLINE04=$loop(\_filename\_ext)$num("%track%", 2). %title%\par
$loopend()
$loopend()
$loopend()
[EXPORTFOOTER]
FOOTERLINE01=\par
FOOTERLINE02=build on %\_date%, with \b %\_app% - the universal Tag Editor\b0 -
[http://www.mp3tag.de/en/\par](http://www.mp3tag.de/en/%5Cpar)
FOOTERLINE03=}
[EXPORTSORT]
SORT=3 2 5
[EXPORTEXTENSION]
EXTENSION=rtf
Here is the closes that I could come to:
[EXPORTHEADER]
HEADERLINE01={\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang1033{\fonttbl{\f0\fswiss\fprq2\fcharset0 Tahoma;}}
HEADERLINE02=\viewkind4\uc1\pard\b\f0\fs32 Mp3tag File Overview\par
HEADERLINE03=\b0\fs20 %\_date%\par
HEADERLINE04=\par
[EXPORTRECORD]
RECORDLINE01=%artist%\par
RECORDLINE02=%album%\par
RECORDLINE03=%track%. %title%\par
[EXPORTFOOTER]
FOOTERLINE01=\par
FOOTERLINE02=build on %\_date%, with \b %\_app% - the universal Tag Editor\b0 - [http://www.mp3tag.de/en/\par](http://www.mp3tag.de/en/%5Cpar)
FOOTERLINE03=}
[EXPORTSORT]
SORT=3 2 5
[EXPORTEXTENSION]
EXTENSION=rtf
But the final would look like this:
Korn
Follow the Leader
1. It's On!
Korn
Follow the Leader
2. Freak on a Leash
Korn
Follow the Leader
3. Got the Life
If there was only a way to have the "Korn, Follow the Leader" part list only once, that would be good.
I also used the help in the mp3tag and found these, but I wasn't sure how to use them correctly:
Other functions
$add(x,y) - adds y to x.
$div(x,y) - divides x by y.
$fmtNum(x) - formats number x with seperator for thousands according to current locale settings.
$if(x,y,z) - if x is true, y is returned, otherwise z.
$left(x,n) - Leftmost n characters of text x.
$meta(x) - returns an empty string, if x is a placeholder (%...%).
$mid(x,n,i) - First n characters of text x, starting at character i.
$mul(x,y) - multiplies x by y.
$odd(x) - returns true, if x is odd.
$right(x,n) - Rightmost n characters of text x.
$sub(x,y) - substracts y from x.
the $if(x,y,z) look interesting, but I'm not sure how I would get it to work.

You need the latest version 2.25 of mp3tag. For V2.25 you just have to save the code area to a new export configuration file without any [EXPORTHEADER] etc, just the plain text.
> [@](#):
>
> 2004-09-19
> Mp3tag V.2.25 - new format for export configurations with user-defined loops, new placeholders and much more.
The $loop() function is what you need. You can group by tag fields like artist and album and also by bitrate, filename, foldepath... More information is in the help file.
