I have 218 album folders in one big folder, spanning around 4000 files, and I would like to create a text file listing of all of the album names as seen in Mp3tag, one per line. How do I do this?

Load the files  
Select the files

Create a new Export: File\>Export\>New\>  
Enter a name for the export script  
The Windows Text Editor opens.

Copy&Paste the code from the example into the text editor - if there is already a suggested script, delete all of it and/or replace it with the example code.  
Close the document and save the changes.  
Select the Export script from the list and click OK.  
You fill find the text file in the top folder of the selected files.
