### How to copy whole tags to other files?

Select the files you want the tags to be copied from and press Ctrl+C. This will copy the files' tag to the clipboard.

By pressing Ctrl+V, Mp3tag then copies the tags from the clipboard to the target files. Using this sequence, you can simply copy tags from one format (e.g., FLAC) to another format (e.g., MP3).
