There are files with different names:

1. 0d9f0d9f0d9.mp3
2. 4kj56j5j64j56.mp3
3. .........

There is a file where there is a list of files and which of these files is a specific song: names.csv

filename: 0d9f0d9f0d9.mp3  
artist: artistname  
title: titlename

Is it possible to upload a file using Mp3Tag and rename the files themselves based on the list names.csv?

example: 0d9f0d9f0d9.mp3 =\> artistname - titlename.mp3

You would have to import the ARTIST and TITLE content from your names.csv files in a first step.  
In a second step you can then rename your files with the new content in your ARTIST and TITLE tags.

For the first step you can start here:

> **[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.

For the second step you can start here:

> **[Rename Files – Mp3tag Documentation](https://docs.mp3tag.de/converters/rename-files/)**
>
> Documentation on Tag to Filename, a converter to rename files based on tags. Mp3tag is the universal Tag Editor.
