I have  
filename01.mp3 filename01.lrc  
filename02.mp3 filename02.lrc  
f03.mp3 f03.lrc......  
I'm new to mp3tag. I want to batch import lrc text into the tag "%unsyncedlyrics%". After importing, I don't need to keep the lrc file. I can use the lyrics in the local player. I searched for related issues, but I didn't find a way. ,what should I do?

You will find examples here in the documentation:

> **[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.

BTW:  
Are you sure that the content of your \*.lrc files are UNSYNCEDLYRICS?  
They have no timestamps in front of the lyrics itself?

Set as filename format string:  
`%_filename%.lrc`

I select the mp3 file and click "text file - tag". Enter "%\_filename%.lrc" in "filename".  
Enter "%unsyncedlyrics%" in "format string".  
Click "OK".  
"Cannot read file "G:\home)music(mp3)no|%\_filename%.lrc%" pops up.  
I don't know how to use 😢

Did you use the action or the converter?  
Use the action.
