Hey there, I've been trying to import tags from a list of 20 tracks, each including a track number, a title and an artist (1. Song Name - Artist Name) from a text file, in order to tag corresponding files. I had figured out the right format to get the data read properly from the file, but for some reason only the last row/line of the text file gets read: ![mp3tagpro_2020-09-04_13-08-15](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/2X/2/25e6e493ba68a0701d9da98e940a3d15b7527118.png) I had tried different things including formatting the list to a CSV file (with commas, semicolons and tabs), cutting out half of the list, removing the track number, removing spaces - you name it. I understand the preferred way would be to add the corresponding file name/path of each track to the list, but other discussions here mentioned that as long as the number of rows matches the number of files - adding the file name/path is not a must. I'd appreciate your help! ---

Your posted screenshot shows that you are not using MP3Tag and thus posting in the wrong forum. ---

My apologies, I got mp3tag mixed up with mp3tag pro. ---
