How to use "clipboard to tags" feature?

[redwing]

Recently boroda74 added a new tagging feature called "clipboard to tags" to "Copy tag" command. For casual use, this feature may be more useful in handling multiple tag values than "text file to tags" feature (http://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=9149.0) because you can apply copied values directly to tags without having to save them to text file first.

You'll first need to install the latest version of Additional Tagging Tools plugin and enable it:

Now let's say you want to copy and paste tag values of the following 8 tracks from Amazon's webpage to your files.





For column select, keep holding down control key while you select titles and artists. Right click and select "Copy Text."

 



Select files and go to Tools> Tagging Tools> Copy tag... and choose <clipboard> tag.
Note that, just like "text file to tags" feature, the number of tag value lines and that of selected tracks must be the same. Otherwise, the plugin will display an error message.





Each line has been pasted in title field. Now you want to split track number, title and artist field from title field, using the delimiter of period "." and tab character "<tab>".

Go to Tools> Tagging Tools> Advanced Search and Replace, and find "Split '<Tag 1>' to tags '<Tag 2>', '<Tag 3>''<Tag 4>'" preset. Select the tracks and configure the preset pane as follows.





This is what you wanted to have.
