Export or backup all tag fields Options

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

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


By default it only works if your Mp3tag settings are in %appdata%\Mp3tag
i.e. c:\Users\{user}\AppData\Roaming\Mp3tag\
It can be changed in the settings.ini file.


I) Installation:

1. Copy Mp3tagCompleteTags.exe to a folder of your choice.
2. Run it once and follow the instructions!
3. In Mp3tag go to "Tools > Options > Tools" and add Mp3tagCompleteTags.exe as a tool.
   As parameter add "%_workingpath%" (with quotes)
   "[ ] for all selected files" must be unchecked!
4. (Optional but recommended) Go to "Tools > Options > Messages"
   and disable "[ ] after change"

II) Then the usual procedure to export is:

for Mp3tag v2.47 and newer

1. Select all the files you want to export in Mp3tag
2. Right click on a file and select "Tools > Mp3tagCompleteTags"

for Mp3tag v2.46 and older

1. Select all the files you want to export in Mp3tag
2. Execute the action "Export#Generate"
3. Right click on a file and select "Tools > Mp3tagCompleteTags"

Now the export dialog should be opened (if not open it with [Ctrl+E]) and 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
creates a html table of all tags

002 html tag dump (frames)
creates a html table of all tags with ID3v2 frame names in the header columns

003 txt tag backup
export all tags to a text file which you can reimport with "Convert > text file - tag"
The matching import string will be saved to the file 00 ImportString.txt

003 txt tag backup (per Folder) (check [X] One file per folder)
export all tags for each folder to a text file which you can reimport with "Convert > text file - tag"
The import string will be saved in the last line of each file.

Some additional files are also created in the data directory:
AutoColumns.ini
AutoColumns.Frames.ini
Two columns ini files that contains all tag fields. You can load them at "View > Customize Columns... > Utils"
Save your current columns settings first if you want to be able to restore them.

Auto-usrfields.ini
A tag panel ini file that contains all tag fields. Replace the original usrfields.ini with it to get all tag fields in the tag panel

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 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"

'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
