Hello! ![:w00t:](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/1X/cb01eca72fe9339ff6f3ec9f1e3c5fe002be0f0a.gif ":w00t:") I have a .cue file: Example: ……. PERFORMER "Various" TITLE "A Time To Remember - 1930" FILE "A Time To Remember - 1930.flac" WAVE TRACK 01 AUDIO ``` TITLE "Noel Coward & Gertrude Lawrence - Private Lives - Noel Coward & Gertrude Lawrence - Private Lives" PERFORMER "Noel Coward & Gertrude Lawrence - Private Lives" INDEX 01 00:00:00 ``` TRACK 02 AUDIO ``` TITLE "Fred Astaire - Puttin' On The Ritz - Fred Astaire - Puttin' On The Ritz" PERFORMER "Fred Astaire - Puttin' On The Ritz" ``` ……… I open it with Mp3Tag: Field Artist: Fred Astaire - Puttin' On The Ritz Field Title: Fred Astaire - Puttin' On The Ritz - Fred Astaire - Puttin' On The Ritz From Field Artist... I could extract information to make it so the tag: Artist: Fred Astaire Title: Puttin' On The Ritz Thanks! I have to do this with many albums. Sorry my english. I am a novice at this. ![](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/2X/2/211962ea36eb8f057df96d8a4af06409889dc7b2.jpg) ---

Create an action of the type Import tag fields for ARTIST and enter %artist% - %title% This should leave Fred Astaire as ARTIST and Puttin on the Ritz be moved to TITLE. ---

My advice aims at the actual audio file but not at the cue-sheet. So, extract the single title from the overall audio file and then start tagging properly. ---

Now I'm doing this: 1 - Exporting field tag to txt\_taglist: $filename(txt,utf-8)$loop(%\_path%)%artist% $loopend() 2 - Funtion Text file - tag %artist% - %title% * * * I takes time, but it's the only way I can do. Thanks 😆 ---

But not working with CUE file ☹ Just because I could finish. In summary export the artist tag to a text file and then import it (txt\_tag) as % artist% -% title% (Funtion Text file - tag). 😆 ---
