Sorry to resurrect this thread, but my question is very similar. I too have many TB of live recordings that are not usually tagged at all. They do, however, all come with a text file. As a newcomer to YATE I wonder if there is the facility to parse info from the text file into tags? I currently use XACT to name tracks from a text file but hate a lot of other things about it's tagging. Does YATE allow a similar process? If you're not familiar with it, a text box opens into which you can type/copy-paste/drag-drop info from the info/text file. Each NAME field is populated by each line of the text, when activated.

Wow. Really appreciate the quick reply and offer. However, the problem is that there is no standard for the text files. They can be beautifully formatted documents, or the misspelled ramblings of a wasted late night concert goer. Some have track numbers, timings, set information, and even notes interspersed with the setlist. Others are just a run on list of the songs played at the concert. And that's only the song names, it's as bad regarding dates, venues etc...

I would be happy to send you a few examples of such files. Take a look at your leisure. Hopefully I'm wrong about the disparate formatting posing too much difficulty. Unfortunately I think that the drag and drop method, and then a little manual neatening up is the only way. Believe me it's much better than typing them all in by hand.

Have a great holiday!
