Regardless of the source, the key is getting the final data into a format that matches the format string that must be defined in the program (see below for more on format strings). You may have your data in a database such as Access, in a spreadsheet (Excel) as I do, in a word processing document or in a text file. Get a life.) So, the Text File -> Tag method had great potential for me. In my case, I had only the song title in the file name, but I had built a spreadsheet over the years with 20,000+ songs. ![]() However, if you have files where the order of the data elements varies in the file names, the Text File method may be better because you won't have to continually change formats for each file name difference. If you have file names that include artist, album, track number, etc., you might be better off using the File Name -> Tag method. (Auto tagging seems to work best if your files are organized by album.)Īnother factor to consider is your current file names. You have to compare the time it takes to prepare the list versus how long it would take to enter the tags manually or try to use auto tagging. Also, you benefit more if you have a lot of files to tag rather than a few. If you have to build the data source from scratch, you may be better off entering the tags manually. Obviously, this method is useful only if you have a data file or can obtain or prepare one relatively easily. MP3Tag offers several ways to import tags, the 'Text File -> Tag' feature being one of them. This post may seem long and too detailed, but if you have several thousand "loose" files (no album organization) as I and another poster had, then these steps may save you some time. I had to use earlier posts here and my own experimentation to determine how to make this feature work. The online Help files at this time simply do not provide enough details to use this feature. Also, I want to offer some suggestions I have found useful.

Please note that fields of VorbisComments (used with FLAC, OGG, SPX) and of APEv2 tags are not mapped internally by Mp3tag but are displayed with their actual name unless they use a user-defined field mapping. All listed fields FIELDNAME can be referenced via a placeholder %fieldname% in format strings. You can edit these tag fields via View → Extended Tags., add user-defined fields to the Tag Panel, or add user-defined columns to the File List. ![]() The list below gives an overview of all tag fields available in Mp3tag, their names to be used in Mp3tag, and how they are mapped to the internal structures of the different tag formats. ![]()
