Good evening!
I cannot find the information I need, nothing I've tried seems to work. This drives me absolutely nuts!
It seems to be a simple thing to do:
1. I have a bunch of mp3 files, let's say 10 tracks.
2. I want to fill the empty composer field.
3. I have a single text file with 10 lines, each line is one composer.
4. I want to import the text file to the 10 mp3 files in one go
I created an action "import text file" and filled the Filename entry field with the actual filename of the text file C:\Audio\Test\BS.txt and the Field with COMPOSER.
Running the action does not work. I could not find any useful instructions on the web. I've spent two nights without success. Tell me stupid but please help me.
Thaaanks!

Use the Textfile - Tag Converter 
Filename: C:\Audio\Test\BS.txt
Formatstring: %composer%
Textfile - Tag Converter  is for putting every line of a text into a different file. You can split lines into different fields here.
The Import Text File Action  is for putting all the text in one field and one file. You can select different text files for differnent audio files by using placeholders like %title% or %track% for the filename here.

Oooops, I had mixed up the Converter with the Action - then it's clear that I was completely lost. Thank you very much, you saved my day!
