My guess is that it's for #mac based on the OPs past activity.

@Florian You stole my words. Yes, This is for mac. Tags - Textfile (window) is a beautiful feature in mp3tag. We need the same feature in reverse direction. Fewer number of songs (say 10-20): We can load songs in mp3tag. Copy tags and make conversion (language), spelling correction, etc in an ex…

@Florian Please review, this would be easy to implement and makes the import and export of tag open thru clipboard. Currently, we can open import tags from textfile (clipboard). We need same for export as well.

It's not really documented, but when you select files in the File List and use ⌘C, it also copies a textual representation of the files to your clipboard which can be used in other applications. Does the export format change in your case or are you usually using one fixed format?

I am not sure, if it changes or fixed. When I copy using ⌘C, I get text in the below format %counter% %artist% - [%album% #%track%] %title% (space is the delimiter!) %counter% is running number starts from 1, +1 for each song file. I don't know where this format resides, if we can change, etc. …

OK, if it changes frequently I don't have a quick solution. Thanks for your feedback, I'll see how I can incorporate this.

Is there a way for me to access format for copy command? Until you implement “tag to text”? You could bring that to setting or leave under “tag to text” format field and leave a note to users to use command + C to copy the tags of selected songs in this format. It will be even quicker that way.
