Hi All, I am new to all of this, so please be patient with me. I exported some songs to Mp3tag.csv, then I started to edit the file. I then had to leave so I clicked on the save button, now I can't find the file. Please help. Many Thanks A1Foxxy123 ---

Try the folder from which you last loaded audio files into MP3tag. ---

How did you export the csv file? Did that instruction feature a path? Does the editor with which you > [@A1Foxxy123](#): > > started to edit the file have a "Recent file" log? Windows Explorer has a search function ... There is no default location for csv files, if you had been looking for that. ---

Clicked on the link that says csv, then this path says E;\mp3tag.csv and it downloaded them ---

Are we talking about the same program MP3tag? I do not see a _link_ that says csv. I cannot really follow you for > [@A1Foxxy123](#): > > this path says E;\mp3tag.csv and if you have a path - can you find the file there? ---

The file got probably created in the folder of the last loaded file. This path is also mentioned in the message box where you can click > [@A1Foxxy123](#): > > Yes/No As this all depends only on your local environment, I cannot really say more about it. The rest is up to you. And as I said: the explorer can also search for files ... ---

> [@A1Foxxy123](#): > > 5)Then its says Display export files now, Yes/No click yes You see the path where the CSV will be saved in the dialog box: ![image](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/2X/b/b42a885d2229b062a8b6617b2e79471859ae2b1e.png) In Wordpad (or any other external program) you can choose `File -> Save AS` (don't click on a existing save icon). With `Save As` you can choose the target directory, where you want to save your edited file. ---
