Hi,

I can export multiple fields to a text file using the functions $meta, $meta\_sep or $meta(x,n).  
Is it possible to import to multiple fields (File name -\> Tag maybe)?

For example:

a line in the text file:  
John Smith | Jane Doe | Marilyn Monroe

Tags:  
ARTIST1: John Smith  
ARTIST2: Jane Doe  
ARTIST3: Marilyn Monroe  
(three separated fields ARTIST)

Thank you for the answer in advance.

If your text file contains a line "John Smith\\Jane Doe\\Marilyn Monroe" it should work to import the artist names into three separated artist tag fields e. g. via Converter/Filename-Tag.

🙂  
Thank you very much. It is much easier than I thought.
