Hi dear all,
I see that many seems to have a bit of trouble getting into the export thing stuff. Me too... 😳
I downloaded a few of dano's fantastic templates, but I don't seem to get them to work. I always get an output file [SYNTAX ERROR IN FORMATTING STRING]. No idea what could be wrong. Also, when looking at the edit of each template it reads
"$loopend()
$loopend()
$loopend()
^ Don't forget to close the loops".
What does this mean? Do I have to edit the template at this point? I'd love to get into this, but I have no great idea about the programming (yet) ☹

Ah, I'm just realizing that I merely looked at a template embedded in Mp3Tag. So, at first... How do I import a mte file? A newly created export set (inside Mp3Tag) doesn't automatically seem to show in the "export" folder, right? A bit confusing... Is there no "how to" guide anywhere? Ie searched but didn't succeed.

Aaah! Thanks, there!!!! There is an "export" folder inside the C:\Program Files\Mp3Tag directory too, that's why I was confused. Great, I found it!
I played around with this all day, and here's a first result for a one album overview (according to how I'd like to see it). I chose the background color based on [http://rateyourmusic.com](http://rateyourmusic.com).

If you like it, get it here: [Album\_template.mte](http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/6/10/1163473/Album_template.mte)
(it requires a "folder.jpg" in each album folder for the image to show correctly)
