Export or backup all tag fields Options

[DetlevD]

... 2-Ran MP3tag and went to "Tools > Options > Tools" and added Mp3tagCompleteTags.exe as a tool. Added "%_workingpath%" as parameter. (Checked "for all selected files" - (is this part right?)

Do not check. This might cause your problem, because only last file will win the race.

Dano's Workflow ...

Step 1: Select all the files you want to export
You did:
3-Selected all the files I wanted (in MP3tag)
Step ok.

Step 2: Open the export dialog [Strg+E]
"[ ] One file per directory" must not be ticked!
Export 001 Generate
You did:
4-CTRL+E to export ("Append Data & One File per Directory" are UNCHECKED)
5-Highlighted 001Generate and clicked OK.
Dialog box indicates "Display Export Files Now?", clicked yes and it shows a list of fields with no information.
Step ok, but file content seems not ok.

Step 3: Execute Mp3tagCompleteTags.exe via Mp3tag Tools
You did:
6-Ran MP3tagscompletetags
Did you invoke the tool by the relating Mp3tag's Tool entry?
Step ok or not ok?

Step 4: Open the export dialog again
You did:
... and then selected 002 csv tag dump.
Dialog box indicates "Display Export Files Now?"
Clicked yes and the fields displayed are Filename ALBUM Artist GENRE LENGTH MEDIATYPE TITLE TRACK.
Step ok, is the file content ok?

I tried again,and followed what you said, but the problem still persists.

... 2-Ran MP3tag and went to "Tools > Options > Tools" and added Mp3tagCompleteTags.exe as a tool. Added "%_workingpath%" as parameter. (Checked "for all selected files" - (is this part right?)

I unchecked "for all selected files"



Step 3: Execute Mp3tagCompleteTags.exe via Mp3tag Tools
You did:
6-Ran MP3tagscompletetags
Did you invoke the tool by the relating Mp3tag's Tool entry?
Step ok or not ok?

Yes I did invoke the tool.

Thanks.

I uninstalled Mp3tag and started everything from the beginning (slowly). Everything is working now.

Dano & Detlev, thank you very much for all your assistance.

I've added more automation for Mp3tag v2.47 users.
It will call the Export#Generate action by sending key strokes.

Hi Danno,
I'm trying to give this util a go as I'm looking for something to export tags into exel.
I have downloaded the rar archive but when I try to extract the exe from it it say the file is broken??
I'm using 7zip. Is the archive corupted or something or am I doing something daft
Regards
Clive

I've added a mirror link, try that.

Dano,

I used your script to export my tag... looks great... Have a few questions:


1. when importing the tag back, under file name do I select importstring?

what if anything goes in the format string filed.

The problem I'm having is all of the info is not being returned in th ID2 fields, like composers, credits....

[DetlevD]

... when importing the tag back, under file name do I select importstring? ...

See description in post #1 of this thread ...
00 ImportString.txt file is automatically created to store the import string for tag import of the 002 txt tag backup
Use converter "Textfile - Tag" together with the formatstring from within this file.

*** Export or backup all tag fields ***

Here is a tool that lets you export all tag fields of the currently selected files

How do I modify your tool to show only the following information with a line break between Artist and Artist Album's?

Example Layout

Artist Album Track# Title Copyright (I use this for the Media Format, i.e. Vinyl, Cas, CD)

Line Break

Artist Album Track# Title Copyright (I use this for the Media Format, i.e. Vinyl, Cas, CD)

Line Break

Artist Album Track# Title Copyright (I use this for the Media Format, i.e. Vinyl, Cas, CD)

Thanks

You don't need my tool for this, just make a new export configuration.

[DetlevD]

... you can use these export configurations:
002 csv tag dump .......... export all tag fields to a csv file
002 csv tag dump utf-16 ... export all tag fields to a csv file tab delimited
002 html tag dump ......... make a html table of all tags
002 txt tag backup ........ export all tags to a text file which you can reimport with "Convert > text file - tag"

How do I modify your tool to show only the following information with a line break between Artist and Artist Album's? ...

'Beluna', what file from the above set of files do you want to change to get a changed output format?

Why do you want an empty line between the data lines?

Are you aware that a line breaked CSV data list might not work anymore as designed?

I configured Dano's CSV tool to show only the Tags I need. However, if you've ever used it it simple runs all the info together.

I was hoping to separate the album listings with a line break like in a HTML file. But from what I've researched it can't be done.

Here's my mission. I want to be able to print a copy of my database with only the basics.

Dano's tool is perfect, but again, i'm looking for something to automate the line breaks...

I have over 150,000 songs... long time to add a line break but will do it manual over time if need be...

Thanks

That's the way how it has been designed, see the topic of this thread.

'Beluna', you should open a new topic, because your theme points into some other direction than the OP's thread theme, I think so.

If you need particular help on an existing Mp3tag export script, which you have modified by yourself to fit your needs, in order to create a HTML script to fit your needs, then post your script and someone may step in and may help.

Please study the export scripts in the Mp3tag forum area 'Export Configuration Archive' ...
http://forums.mp3tag.de/index.php?showtopi...post&p=7086
... and all the other numerous posted export scripts from Mp3tag users.


The HTML tag for a linebreak is <BR> and it can be inserted into a Mp3tag export script like this ...
'<BR>'

You can look into the script there ...

... how to apply a HTML linebreak.
