D, my data formatting in not columns and is with unique separator, but that separator is TAB. Sorry to be unclear.

Thanks. The key question is: what to place at \_XXX?

Well, if I could transfer the values WITHOUT align/transfer between systems, then the problem is trivial!

I want Textfile-Tag to transfer textfile WM/SharedUserRating values to WM/SharedUserRating tags. Surely there is a format string that can do that?

I have tried %rating%, but this transfers to a different field, not WM/SharedUserRating . I believe %rating% \<-\> WM/SharedUserRating was supposed to work when Florian said he was trying to fix it for the next release seven years ago [Progress on WMA Rating fix?](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/4481/2) , but now I find that RATING is absent from the Tag Fields Mappings [https://docs.mp3tag.de/mapping](https://docs.mp3tag.de/mapping) .

I'll ask a separate question without the reference to MediaMonkey, which now seems to me to be irrelevant and confusing?
