Good afternoon,
I did Copilot find the genre's that belong to my tracks, now I want to paste them as a batch into my genre field. I did try various options but I can't get it to work. Is there an option I don't know about that let me do this?
I love to hear from you,
With kind regards,
Reijer

You do not tell us in which format you now have the data at hand.
Also I am missing if it is the same genre for all files or how does the copilot tell you which genre belongs where.
If the copilot found the genres for you - can't it also find a method to assign them to the files?
In general there are 2 methods to get data from text sources:
> **[Import Text File – Mp3tag Documentation](https://docs.mp3tag.de/actions/import-text/)**
>
> Documentation on the Import Text File action type that can be performed as Quick Action or as reusable workflow from Action Groups. Mp3tag is the universal Tag Editor.
and
> **[Import Tags from Text Files – Mp3tag Documentation](https://docs.mp3tag.de/converters/import-tags-from-text-files/)**
>
> Documentation on Text File to Tag, a converter to import tags from text files. Mp3tag is the universal Tag Editor.

The genre metadata is in .txt format and for each field there is a different genre.

I'm sorry I maybe wrote it wrong, every row is a song with all it's metadata in mp3tag right?
So for every song I have a different genre, this genre data is in the order of the songs. So if I can copy and paste the genres that we're found in the genre field top / down they will correspond with the tracks.
I hope this will explain in a better way what I mean?

If that is the case, make sure that the order in the selected files matches the order of records in the text file.
Then try Convert\>Text file - Tag
Format string: %genre%
The data from the 1st row in the text file go into the GENRE field in the 1st selected file, the 2nd row into the 2nd selected file and so on.
Good luck
