hello everyone, Why Mp3tag always add an extra New Line in a tag when I import a text file inside that tag? For example: - I have a FLAC file named "file.flac", and a text file named "file.log" - When I import the text file named "file.log" inside a tag named "LOG" inside the FLAC file named "file.flac", then Mp3tag add systematically a New Line at the end of the "LOG" tag! How to fix this, because I have hundreds of files to process, so I don't want to remove each New Line manually!!! Thanks in advance. ---

I assume you have a blank line at the end of the file? E.g. (EOF = End of File). Line 1.... Line 2.... EOF You can try Line 1.... Line 2....EOF If that works you can open all text files in notepad++ and remove in batch all trailing blank lines. ---

Thanks for your reply, but let me explain the problem in a better way: The content of the text file is: Line 1... Line 2 ... So when I use Mp3tag('Actions' menu) to import this text file inside a tag, Then the content of the tag is: Line 1... Line 2...Additional character NB: Inside Mp3Tag, this additional character is an 'empty square' symbol(character). And if I copy it inside Notepad++, it is a CRLF character. So my question is: Why Mp3Tag adds that additional character at the end of the tag ? or how to prevent this? I hope it's clearer this time, Thanks in advance! ---

That (probably) means your file has an empty trailing line. Can you attach a test file please? ---

> [@Victor Kostas](#): > > That (probably) means your file has an empty trailing line. Can you attach a test file please? Good point, you're right: I just did another test, and the text file has an empty trailing line!!! So it's ok now 🙂 In fact the imported text file was a log file from "Exact Audio Copy", and it was encoded "UTF-16 LE". So when I paste the tag from Mp3Tag to Notepad++, I must put it inside a new "UTF-16 LE" text file. My mistake was because I've put it inside a "UTF-8" new text file.(Then the checksum comparison test was failing between the original log file and the new utf8 new file!!!) Thanks again for your help!!! Mp3Tag is the best!!!!!!! ---
