How about being able to import tag data from a text file? I have loads of flac files that come with a text file detailing track info. It would be great if i could tag them from this file.Most of my files look like this:

my group  
my title

1.song1  
2.song2  
3.song3  
4.song4  
etc.

There is a massive community on the internet of people who bootleg music (legally) and trade it over the internet, nearly all of the shows are distributed as flac files and a text file. You would gain a huge user base by adding this feature. I don't know of any other program that can do it.

Maybe ALT+4 is what you want (Convert --\> Taglist-File - Tag).
