> Hello, I always download some music which without track number in the tag, and the files have no track number before the file name. it's just like "AAAAA", not "01 AAAAA". So, I want to import the tracklist to file name ... and i get the track list with track number ... How can I import the track list to file name with MP3tag?

At first your question looks as if it is easy to solve with the converter "Textfile - Tag".

But because the list file of "Track Filename" entries probably does not contain the filename as an absolute path name, then the converter "Textfile - Tag" can not afford the appropriate allocation between the current file and its related track number.

With the following action group, the problem is quickly finished.  
In Action #1 adapt the filepath location of the input text file to your needs.

Begin Action Group **Test\_2013#MatchFilenameInListfile.GiveTrack** 

Action #1  
_Actiontype 14:_ **Import text file**  
_Field \_\_:_ **TMP\_LIST**  
_Filename:_ **'T:\TEST\Tracklist.txt'**

 

Action #2  
_Actiontype 5:_ **Format value**  
_Field \_\_\_\_\_\_:_ **TMP\_LIST**  
_Formatstring:_ **$regexp($char(13)$char(10)%TMP\_LIST%$char(13)$char(10),'\s\*[\r\n]+\s\*','\r\n')**

 

Action #3  
_Actiontype 5:_ **Format value**  
_Field \_\_\_\_\_\_:_ **TMP\_FN**  
_Formatstring:_ **$regexp(%\_filename%,'[\*+?|{}()^$.#\]','\\$0')**

 

Action #4  
_Actiontype 5:_ **Format value**  
_Field \_\_\_\_\_\_:_ **TRACK**  
_Formatstring:_ **$regexp(%TMP\_LIST%,'^._\n(\d+)\s+(__'%TMP\_FN%')\r._$****','$1')**

 

Action #5  
_Actiontype 5:_ **Format value**  
_Field \_\_\_\_\_\_:_ **TRACK**  
_Formatstring:_ **$if($eql(%TRACK%,%TMP\_LIST%),'0',%TRACK%)**

 

Action #6  
_Actiontype 9:_ **Remove fields**  
_Fields to remove (semicolon separated):_ **TMP\_LIST;TMP\_FN**

 

End Action Group **Test\_2013#MatchFilenameInListfile.GiveTrack** (6 Actions)
