Create a textfile, e. g. "X:\Folder\Textfile.txt", with following lines e. g.:  
^|1|Introduction|The Tell Us|Z:\Music\Artist\Album\Musicfile1.mp3|$  
^|2|Five To One|The Doors|Z:\Music\Artist\Album\Musicfile2.mp3|$  
^|3|Break On Through|Beton & Breaker|Z:\Music\Artist\Album\Musicfile3.mp3|$

Select the three tracks, then use Mp3tag/Convert/Text file - Tag:  
Filename: X:\Folder\Textfile.txt  
Format string: ^|%TRACK%|%TITLE%|%ARTIST%|%\_PATH%|$
