I love MP3TAG ... so much that I'm a donating member.
I've been wanting a way to search tags and dump the results into a file with file the location of each match.
For instance:
I want a list of all 4-Star \*\*\*\* files and the file location ... to copy to my portable device.
I would love just a text file and can use that to run a batch copy.
Or MP3TAG could offer the copy feature as well.
I would love to finds songs with a certain words in them ... or singer ... or anything.
What do you think?

I think most of the functions are already there.
You can filter for almost any critera e.g.
%popularimeter% IS \*\*\*\*
You can then select the files and use Edit\>Copy ... which copies the files to a selectable destination (in a flat hierarchie, though).
or you create a text export in File\>Export where you can add more or less any text (like e.g. command shell copy commands).
