Do we have any update on this potential tremendous time saving feature that should be implemented on the already excellent Mp3tag?

Now we have the Text file - Tag but mostly (ever) I don't have any text file but I rather find a track list on a web site of the author, copy that list, create a new text file in some temp directory, convert tags using Mp3tag and then delete the file. With the Clipboard - Tag I wouldn't have any of this file mess. Thank you! slight_smile

No, of course. The idea itself is great.
