Hello, Using Text File - Tag: is there a way for Mp3tag to realize a precheck before effectively updating the tags? - i.e. to check that it is the right mp3 file which will be tagged? I personnaly store a unique Id. for each mp3 in the %COMMENT SONGS-DB\_CUSTOM3% tag. (e.g. CD 0028 09) In this case, the beginning of each line of the txt file would start with this Id. Thanks! ---

The conjunction between one line in the text file and one file in the Mp3tag file list is the content of the \_PATH pseudo tag field. Read there ...
