Have a look at this post: [Importing metadata and tagging the files comprising an album](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/19167/2)

If you add the artist as a "column" in the text file like:

I sing for you.mp3;Abraham  
At night I howl.mp3;Bebraham  
The waters edge.mp3;Cebraham  
In the middle of the night.mp3;debraham

For the import you define the fields  
%filename\_ext%;%artist%

and the correct artist should end up in the correct file.
