Hello,

I am trying to add information from an XML tag to the actual MP3 tag.

"\<"?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?\>  
"\<"MediaEntry version="1"\>  
"\<"entryType\>Music  
"\<"duration\>263407  
"\<"identifier\>ac3ead51-87c5-4f27-a71a-8b7f0f1f6195  
"\<"title\>Loser (album version)  
"\<"artist\>3 Doors Down  
"\<"album\>Loser  
"\<"albumartist\>3 Doors Down  
"\<"genre\>Unknown  
"\<"year\>2000  
"\<"comment\>11A - Energy 7  
"\<"trackno\>2/5  
"\<"discno\>1/1  
"\<"isrc\>USUR19980268  
"\<"rating\>0  
"\<"bitrate\>320  
"\<"tagType\>1  
"\<"ci\_freq\>44100\</ci\_freq\>  
"\<"ci\_chans\>2\</ci\_chans\>  
"\<"ci\_flags\>-2145386496\</ci\_flags\>  
"\<"ci\_ctype\>65541\</ci\_ctype\>  
"\<"ci\_origres\>0\</ci\_origres\>  
"\<"bpm\>176.119  
"\<"general /\>  
"\<"cuePoints"\>"  
**"\<"cueIn\>2.673**  
"\<"ramp\>18.173  
"\<"ramp2\>18.173  
"\<"outro\>18.173  
"\<"fadeOut\>260.663  
"\<"next\>259.163  
"\<"cueOut\>263.021  
"\<"/cuePoints\>

I need to have the "cueIn" set as an Intro and with the time in milliseconds.

The final look to be INTRO 2673

Is this possible using actions?

Thanks in advance.

You could try "Guess value" with the fields that you do not mention  
Source: %xml\_tag%  
Target : %dummy%"\<"cueIn\>%intro%"\<"ramp\>%dummy%  
THen you start the next action to remove the full stop.

Do I need to call for the XML file to be input first?

I tried what you suggested and it didn't seem to work.

I assumed that the xml-data was already in a tag field and you just wanted to cut it.
