Could you add the option to include the used export configuration as the first line of the text file? Then, also, loading that configuration automatically in **"Text file - Tag" → "Format string"** from the selected file would be quite handy. For example:

```
%title% - %artist% - %album% - %year% - %track% - %genre% - %albumartist%
Space Operators - Jeppe Hasseriis - Escape Velocity - 2012 - 1/9 - Electronic - Dynatron
...<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

```

Read there, perhaps it can help to understand the situation with CSV file management in Mp3tag ...
