I am pretty sure, that I have not suggested to use an import text file, which is formatted in columns. I am pretty sure, that each character on a line, within the import text file, is significant for the Mp3tag import function. Therefore it is not good, to offer data columns, because the possible imported trailing spaces have to be removed afterwards from the tag-fields. _(Annotation: Your preview picture shows, that Mp3tag seems to understand the data, which have been formatted in columns, but the formatstring for importing looks ugly.)_ The import text file should have left aligned floating lines of text with unique separator between the data fields. In Mp3tag you can choose the separator character or string as you wish, but it should not be part of any data field. **Bad format aaaaa bbb aa bb aaa bbb aaaa b Good format :aaaaa:bbb: :aa:bb: :aaa:bbb: :aaaa:b:** In your case you can offer a text import file: |-1|C:\temp\media file 1.wma| |0|C:\temp\media file 2.wma| |20|C:\temp\media file 3.wma| |40|C:\temp\media file 4.wma| |60|C:\temp\media file 5.wma| |80|C:\temp\media file 6.wma| |100|C:\temp\media file 7.wma| Import mask: |%RATING\_XXX%|%\_path%| > [@chrisjj](#): > > ...
