Hi. What I like most about MP3TAG is the ability to display any given tag when hitting alt+T ("extended tags"). I made up custom tag fields with random names in a third party program, imported the songs to mp3tag and it was able to display all of them correctly. Now, what can I do to export all thi…

$list It would be good if this function was mentioned in the docs rather than being kept secret!

thanks a lot for your support! I'll have a look into it and get back to you.

[image] DetlevD: Try this: Backup and restore Sorry, had to attend to some real life troubles beforehand .... Thanks a lot for helping me! I tried what's suggested on that link. It pretty much works out, I'm very relieved! I used the the function $list(,==, ) which results in : BAND==Bu…

Try $char(13)$char(10) to get a linebreak.

@Florian + DetlevD: Thanks a ton for your support. The linebreak works. I'm really happy, because I've been looking around for quite some time now and until I discovered MP3TAG I didn't find any program with such a flexible export function. I'm all new to the program, and I'm trying to find the in…

PS: .... hm, as for the "action tagfield format" ... I think I've found that in the FAQ, it's "convert>>actions (alt+F5)" right? I think I still have a long way to study in front of me ...

No. E.g. $repeat(.,$sub(45,$len(%genre%))) If you look at the top of options_export.html you should see a link "Built in scripting commands" The export script of DetlevD replaces all line breaks when exporting with the string "U+000D..." to remember that there are line breaks in a tag fie…

Thanks a lot for your comments. Everything is much clearer for me now. I'll comment on the other points later on ... .... in the meanwhile, for point (1), as this is most important for me : At the moment, I use $filename(all_tag_fields.txt,ANSI)$loop(%_path%) %_filename_ext% $list(, == ,$char…
