taglist-file - Tag conversion

[rvieira]

Hi! I am new using Mp3tag but I like using it a lot.

Only one question:

I was using the converter Taglist-file to Tag for a whole day and I was not able to get it runs properly. I tried exporting tags to csv and txt, after I only changed several characters for a track and after I tried to import the taglist-file but nothing changed. I was very mticulous checking the formatstring.

Anybody can help with an example how I can use the import tags via the converter Taglist-file - Tag.

Thanks in advance,

RVieira

Assuming your text file looks like this:

Pink Floyd,Animals,01,Pigs On The Wing (Part 1),1994,Progessive
Pink Floyd,Animals,02,Dogs,1994,Progessive
Pink Floyd,Animals,03,Pigs (Three Different Ones),1994,Progessive
Pink Floyd,Animals,04,Sheep,1994,Progessive
Pink Floyd,Animals,05,Pigs On The Wing (Part 2),1994,Progessive

The format string for importing should read:

%artist%,%album%,%track%,%title%,%year%,%genre%

Thanks Sebastian,
But I had just followed the steps you told me and with the formatstring you noted in your answer. Perhaps I might to explain more concisely my problem.

I have the following file:

[Water Music HWV 348 to 350] 1. Ouverture;Rafael Kubelik (Berlin Philharmonic);Händel Wassermusik & Feuerwerksmusik;01/24;01 [Wassermusik] Ouverture.mp3
[Water Music HWV 348 to 350] 2. Adagio e staccato;Rafael Kubelik (Berlin Philharmonic);Händel Wassermusik & Feuerwerksmusik;02/24;02 [Wassermusik] Adagio e staccato.mp3

And the formatstring is:

%title%;%artist%;%album%;%track%;%_filename_ext%

When the filename (01 [Wassermusik] Ouverture.mp3) appears into tha taglist-file that field is no recognized and is not changed in the column called filename.

However, whether filename is deleted in the taglist-file, the remaining fields are imported as I previously proved and you indicated in your reply.

Another thing I've tried also to use only the filename without extension (01 [Wassermusik] Ouverture) using properly %_filename% in the formatstring but it doesn't run.

Your comments will be much appreciated.

Thanks,

R. Vieira

Hello!

Why not to import the tags first and then change the filename with tag->filename converter?

I have this proble now, have been using it and then it has stop converting. dosn't want to read and save the data.

Howard Shore - The London Philharmonic Orchestra / Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers / Soundtrack / 2002 / Howard Shore - Reprise / 01 / 01 - The Prophecy.mp3
etc ..

%artist% / %album% / %genre% / %year% / %copyright% / %track% / %title%

"I:\LOTR\LOTR The Fellowship Theme Music\01_The_Prophecy.mp3" ->

"I:\LOTR\LOTR The Fellowship Theme Music\02_Concerning_Hobbits.mp3" ->

"I:\LOTR\LOTR The Fellowship Theme Music\03_The_Shadow_Of_The_Past.mp3" ->
etc..

I'm using the the develop version after tryin reinstall, but no luck

It's seems that the %title% causes the most problems when importing from a txt file. Using freedb the title changes with no problem.

For me, it works perfect, even with
%artist% / %album% / %genre% / %year% / %copyright% / %track% / %title%
Which version of Mp3Tag do you use?
Have you tryed the newest developer build?
