I'd love to see an option to import tags from the current clipboard, much the same as one can do currently using Text File > Tag.

Quite the necro bump I realize. Was this ever implemented? Was looking for a way to parse clipboard content into track tags but there doesn't appear to be a way outside of using a text file.

Mmm. The idea was to make a per-podcast formatting action that would take apart the inputted text and use it for multiple tags. Perhaps I'll have to paste it into the Comment field first before running an action in that case. For example, here's the format of one Podcast feed: Filename: Platos-Cav…

The action is now ready which is awesome. Just one last thing - is there some way to sort/re-arrange the Artist field names? I searched and found two threads about this ( here , and here ), and it's a solid idea. I was looking for a custom order though: From: Josh Nelson\\Cerise Howard\\Tara Judah\\Th…
